When Lee Yih looks back over the first third of his life, he sees a directionless young man with no anchor to base his identity. No father figure. A mixed ethnicity as a Chinese-American. Varied spiritual experiences. Murky job prospects.
Then came the day he found himself in the army in Germany, bored and stoned all the time, and with a marriage that was failing. The seemed to be no hope. Nothing he could see could change his situation. Yet at that lowest moment, someone intervened. Nothing fancy, just an offer of friendship. An act of kindness that would change his life, his wife, and many others he would later encounter.

This is great. I'm so proud of you Dad.

Michael Yih Just wonderful. Glory to God. Tell your father that I never liked being a pale white guy - I'm not kidding. I'm over it now, but it was a terrible, aweful insecurity with which I wrestled while growing up (my wife is Vietnamese and my youngest son looks so too - go figure!). Funny, when I was 11 years old one morning I woke up to find a man cooking breakfast in our kitchen (of course I knew my mother had brought him home for a one night stand). My mother told me he was Michael the arch-angel. Though raised in an unchurched, unbelieving home, I just knew that God didn't send angels to have intercourse with single mothers. But percolating through the bizarre occultic stories she told me were true biblical propositions. I firmly believed that the Spirit had called me even in the midst of this chaotic and strange experience and period of my young life, helping me to discern the truth from lies. I mention this because, though I now disagree with Hal Lindsay's futurism and dispensationalism more broadly, his movie "The Late Great Panet Earth" enraptured me and somehow brought me closer to a proper, salvific faith in Christ Jesus. When people say that "God works in mysterious ways", I think this and your father's story are good examples of His "mysterious", providentially secure ways. I'm proud of your father too; he's my brother in Christ. To God Almighty be the glory forever. Amen.

Me too. ME TOO! I am Navajo and my own people and parents don't accept me because my skin is lighter than theirs. I'm better now, but it was tough. Much love! 💗

You are one blessed man, to have grown up under such a loving father, I never knew my dad, sure I met him a few times but I didn’t know him. Alcohol consumed his life and made him reject us, which is ok, I was raised by a good mother and didn’t have to endure beatings like she did under such a cruel person. I have literally listened to this at least 10 times already and it’s my favorite “I am Second” testimony. What a wonderful person, such a amazing man of God.

"God shaped void." That is just so eloquent and you are so right. There is a void in all of us, whom He created, that only he can fill. You know- I was abandoned by my own earthly father, and I would be so happy to have a God filled father like you. I'm so glad you captured your dream!

I accepted Christ as a child. 13 years old, brought to youth church by a friend. I had visited there numerous times. I went to the altar lots of times. Those people laying hands on you and watching other people cry around you, I was scared. But I knew I wanted what they said Jesus had to offer. So the last time I went, I prayed. "God if this is for real, I'm listening. I'm not going to fight it anymore. I'm not going to be afraid. If this is for real, please show me". I fell to my knees before I knew what had happened. I cried and laughed all at the same time. It was pure love. Pure joy. - But I was 13 with no guidance and at age 15 I was date raped. I had no one that brought me to church regularly or shared my faith and after what happened, I lost it. I was angry. And I've sat around in the "in between" for a long time. A hole in my heart. A void I filled with things that did not belong. I'm 33 now. I learned that even though we walk away from God he doesn't leave us. I walked away. Like a stubborn teenager, I rebelled. It wasn't His fault. My path has many curves and detours, but because I meant it THEN, HE always leads me back. TThank you Lee Yih and makers of these videos for sharing your stories.

This speaks to me so much! There is a void that we try to fill with everything else, but God -- relationships, sex, money, drugs, addictions, all the lusts of the world -- but it never satisfies and will always be fleeting pleasures that always leave us still broken and craving for something more because that place in our hearts has always been and will always be meant for our Creator -- our Father! -- who knows us and loves us more than any person ever will. Thanks for the amazing testimony!

I could relate to you in terms being a certain race and being able to fit in to society and keeping up with the Jones' and so forth...But I learn that it is not what's on the outside. It is on the inside.

God is good all the time. I wish I could summarize my story at such a highlight like these folks that share on I am second because it's such an inspiration to hear so many stories how people got connected or had a spiritual awakening and now believe Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior; How they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ,God the Father and the holy Spirit 🙏💕🙏🤗

Put's Christianity into such a perspective without the need for religion. Yes, religion is a form of worship but 'I am second' brings such a humble truth that Jesus is our personal savior and anyone can have a relationship with him if they wanted too, how lovely
