Sherry

Sherry is a 30-year-old Taiwanese woman who is realizing that the answers her family and friends are giving her about life don't satisfy her deep down inside. Her family is a typical Taiwanese family whose religion is a mix of Buddhism, Taoism, ancestor worship and lots of superstitions. Like most Taiwanese families, when they worship their ancestors or do other rituals, they don't know why they do certain rituals, certain ways. They just follow the instructions passed down to them from their mom and grandmother. They are told that if they do the ritual, they will keep their ancestors or other spirits happy, so that they will have a healthy and prosperous life.

Sherry told me that one thing she likes about Christianity is that we have an explanation for the things that we do. It makes sense to her.

She is still not a Christian. She told me that she wants to believe in the truth. but doesn't think that has to be Christianity, Buddhism or any other religion. Even though there is still confusion, I still see her seeking.

Please keep praying for her.
