Why become a Catholic? Arvin's Story: the 1 in the 99
It was such an eye-opening and incredibly humbling opportunity to interview Arvin Chan about his conversion story. Whether you are a cradle-Catholic or someone perhaps on the fence about converting to Catholicism, this conversation will resonate with you. God keeps on inviting us to come and see, and He provides the right guides and teachers when we are ready. Arvin is a true testimony of that constant calling and seeking of the one among the 99.
