A Story of Hope: Prodigal Transformation

Christopher Yuan and his parents Angela and Leon were successful people by most standards; Leon was a sucessful dentist, Angela was a happy wife, mother, and career woman, and Christopher was a talented son who was close to graduating from Dental school. After living seemingly successful lives for years without any interest in religion as agnostics, things began to unravel for the Yuans. Leon and Angela decided to divorce. Christopher “came out” to his parents, declaring his homosexuality. What Christopher didn’t tell his parents was about his secret life as a drug dealer. A distraught Angela planned her own suicide as a way of dealing with her son’s lifestyle and the divorce from Leon.
Christopher, Angela, and Leon gave their heartfelt and powerful testimony last Sunday at our church, describing their journey from the darkness of the"far country" into living in the light and hope of Christ. Their story is also about the power of prayer. Below is a link to a video of the Yuan’s amazing testimony:
