ACC's own Leslie Keng shared his personal stories with Cornerstone on how he came to know the Lord. In 1 Kings 17:7-16, Elijah assures a widow that the Lord will always provide for her with a never ending jar of flour and jug of oil, and in 2 Kings 4:8-37, the Lord saves a mother's dead son. Through these verses, Leslie spoke of times when your path in life is hardly ever what you envision it to be. Sometimes, God gives you a blessing and an open door (like the woman's son) and sometimes, you are faced with your biggest fear and need to make a decision. However, God's character never changes and can overcome any circumstance. Leslie challenged us when he asked "What is your dream? What is your greatest fear? If God takes away your dream and makes your greatest fear a reality, would you still desire God?".
