Samuel and Lygia Chang Move to Los Angeles

Samuel and Lygia Chang moved from Hong Kong to Los Angeles in July 1959. It was through Samuel Chang that we got to know something of Watchman Nee and the church life in China and the Far East.

He spoke of his relationship to Watchman Nee not just in terms of mere friends, relatives, and business partners but of that “which exists between two Christian brothers.” Samuel Chang said of him, “It was through fellowship with Watchman Nee in 1927 that I was made clear concerning my salvation....He ministered Christ to me in the spirit, bringing me into a genuine and living enjoyment of the assurance of salvation....Watchman Nee was a person who was thoroughly saturated with the Lord’s presence,...a man whose inner being had been touched by the Lord, and one who had acquired much rich experience from being dealt with by the Lord....[As to the church,] I can testify that his ministry regarding the church was not a doctrine, a theory, or an unworkable plan. Not only did he teach what God revealed to him concerning the church—he also put the revelation into practice” (Lee, Watchman Nee: a Seer of the Divine Revelation in the Present Age, 125-128).

Samuel Chang also helped us to see something concerning the church. He was faithful to the Lord in this matter. The more he shared with us God’s view of the church and his experiences of the church, the more we were infused with the desire to have the church life ourselves in Los Angeles.
