    About this ebook

    The testimonies of a foul-mouthed truant's journey to a billionaire, an academic's "Sacrificial Succession" spiritual principles for mission, and a shy and broken-hearted women's joinery, proves the "Talent Giver," is eager to impart talent to enable those willing to serve His kingdom.

    Mission work has never been so accessible; the 21st Century Mission Method is a paradigm shift of the traditional ways of mission, to inspires Christians to do the "Great Commission." Using evangelists from the indigenous churches are the most effective and efficient way of mission in the modern age. It displays the manifold wisdom of God through His Church.

    God's call and plan for the church and Christian always align with the last words He spoke to His disciples: "Go make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19)."

      His Plan - Cindy Liu

      Testimony

      A Billionaire

      Background

      Abraham

      was born in India to British parents. The son of a wartime fighter pilot, his grandfather was born on a boat into a family that was part of a theatrical tour company. Abraham’s mother was the daughter of a Spanish sea captain. With a background of Spanish, German, Dutch, and Irish, Abraham had a multicultural upbringing. The primary religious influence at home was Catholicism.

      Abraham was three when his family left India and returned home to Britain. India was struggling for independence and was no longer a safe place to live.

      When Abraham was ten, his father grew restless and decided to become a bush pilot. He relocated his family to Kenya to do so. Abraham loved the warmer climate and immersing himself in another culture. His experiences of both India and Africa cultivated a deep interest within him, one that would become more prevalent in years to come. He had five wonderful years in Kenya.

      Venture

      At eleven, Abraham noticed the beautiful bougainvillea flowers planted at the roundabouts in Kenya. The entrepreneurial gift within him sprouted. The thought of selling something that cost nothing but produced 100% profit seemed the ideal business venture. He cut and bundled the flowers and proceeded to knock on people’s doors. He sold them in the name of the Kenya Hospital Bedding Fund. He made enough money to purchase an air rifle for himself. His business was successful until the day he knocked on a doctor’s door. The business closed at the hand of his father’s wooden spoon. Abraham learned from a young age that liquidating a business can be a very painful thing.

      At fifteen, Abraham’s family returned to Britain once again. This time, due to the outbreak of war in Kenya. Once again, Abraham’s adventurous character sought out mischievous antics outside of school. He was disengaged with school and played truant for six months, resulting in him being held back a year and becoming the oldest in the class. At that time, Abraham was also hanging out with a rough crowd, using language he is still ashamed of today. Discipline from his dad was never short.

      Salvation

      One day, someone dropped off a leaflet to Abraham’s family. It was an invitation to a Pentecostal church gathering. His father, being an adventurous sort himself, decided to visit the church. He invited Abraham to join him. Abraham’s Catholic mother would never have agreed to such a thing. As Abraham entered the church, his immediate reaction was, This is strange. People are praising God and saying hallelujah. People seem to actually like God. Abraham had grown up with the impression that God was a fearsome person. Someone who would send you to hell if you weren’t good. With all his mischievous ways, Abraham considered he would be in purgatory for at least one million years. However, being clever, he made a game plan. He thought to himself, I could enjoy life, do whatever I like, and repent on my death bed, then go to heaven. Although he knew this meant he wasn’t really on good terms with God, he felt it was a better solution than the alternative of going to hell.

      Transformed

      That day when Abraham visited the church, he was confronted by people who seemed to love God. People who could speak to God. Their love for God genuinely touched him. That was the thing that spoke to his heart. One night as he was walking home from a youth meeting, he saw a picture in his mind of Jesus on the cross. He realized Jesus died on the cross for him. That was the turning point for Abraham. He responded by giving his life to Christ. He was seventeen.

      After his conversion, Abraham noticed changes in his life. One day, while Abraham was cycling to school, he was nearly knocked over by a big lorry. He was about to give the driver a mouthful, but nothing came out. It occurred to Abraham, there had been a real change in his life as he could no longer swear. Everything seemed different. Birds seemed to be singing. The trees seemed greener. His life was radically changed. He felt so different after becoming a Christian.

      Testing

      During this time, God challenged him on a few occasions. Once in church, God asked him to empty his pockets and give away all his money to the ministry. He obeyed and gave everything he had in his pocket. As a result, he walked seven miles in the dark to get home. At that time, his brother thought he was foolish to give away his bus fare. However, many decades later, his brother came to realize how God rewards those who are faithful in the little things. Abraham believed God was testing him by saying, Would you be faithful with money? He found during that time a strong faithful foundation was laid in his heart.

      Training

      Abraham’s mother was an excellent business negotiator. Abraham used to accompany her to the fruit and vegetable market in Kenya and watch her bargain. She bargained about everything so much, it embarrassed him. However, Abraham’s mom was born in India. It was her nature to bargain and barter. Those uncomfortable moments watching his mom bargain with vendors, haggle over every penny made Abraham understand purchasing power and negotiation skills. He also observed the commitment and consistency of the salesperson, the traits that enabled them to make a sale.

      Abraham purchased his first car for £130 and sold it one year later for £195. His father thought it was unreasonable that he should sell it for a profit. However, Abraham very confidently answered his father, The man who bought it from me was happy and I am happy, so there is no problem. He learned that in business, he needed to buy with a profit margin in mind. He couldn’t be too reasonable like his father in making money. He understood great business principles at an early age. In buying, one plus one equals two; in selling, one plus one must equal eleven.

      Married

      Abraham got married at twenty. His son was born when he was twenty-two. At that time, he did not earn much money working as a bank clerk. His income was less than his wife’s. After his son was born, his wife stopped working. Suddenly, sixty percent of the household income disappeared. Challenged, Abraham had no option but to make more money and provide for his family; he must work harder. He started a used car sales business with a friend, a youth leader at his church at night and was studying to be an accountant. Abraham worked very hard for many years. One time, he had to push a car around at 5:00 a.m. to warm it up because of the snow to ensure it would start when the buyer came to inspect it at 7:00 a.m. Then he needed to catch a train to be at work by 8:00 a.m. There was a great deal of hard work in his youth but the words, It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth (Lamentations 3:27 KJV) encouraged him to keep going.

      Abraham didn’t do well at school. He was not interested and had no direction while at school. He noticed there were no books about how to live life until he read the Bible, it was there where he found all the wisdom about life he needed. He was fascinated by the success and failure of men in the Bible. He also noticed in life that many people did well, not necessarily because of what they had achieved during school but rather because they had direction. After he set the goal
