Sim Jong

Sim Jong is a Christian witness from Malaysia. At the age of 17, he came to the UK alone to study, carrying the expectations of his family. However, life dealt him a series of heavy blows—losing a loved one deeply wounded his spirit, leaving him directionless, and in his loneliness, he fell into the destructive habit of gambling.

At the lowest point of his life, gambling became the center of his existence, leading to financial difficulties and family conflicts. Although he and his wife often attended church activities together, his heart was never fully open to accepting the salvation of Jesus Christ. The chains of gambling continued to ensnare him, trapping his life in a vicious cycle.

God’s love never gave up on Sim Jong. One day, during an unexpected bus ride, he passed by Soho Baptist Chapel and noticed a poster about gambling recovery. This encounter sparked his desire for change. At The Christian Centre for Gambling Rehabilitation, he was introduced to the message of Christ and began a journey of seeking redemption. Though the road to quitting gambling was filled with struggles, through prayer and the support of the Gospel, he gradually overcame his challenges and finally found true peace and hope in Jesus Christ.

Today, Sim Jong’s life has been transformed. His testimony serves as a reminder that, no matter how dark life may seem, if we are willing to turn to God, His grace will lead us out of despair and into a new life.

“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8)
