Meet Devlin

Devlin says his story is all about looking for fulfillment. As a teenager, he tried different things to feel full such as achieving at school and partying. None of these satisfied. Devlin also struggled growing up because of his parent’s divorce. He felt anger towards God and had difficulties with his relationships. Then at a youth camp, Devlin trusted in Christ. He shares how he found the fulfillment he had been searching for, and God used his new found faith to help start a revival in Devlin’s school. Devlin also shares that he got caught up in habitual sin, yet despite his wandering away, God drew him back and he received Christ’s grace and forgiveness. He talks about the delight in obeying Christ’s way.

Meet Lonnie

Lonnie shares how he wanted a successful life and fulfillment. He sought those things through “dream jobs”, financial plans, and marriage. He still felt incomplete, so he started going to church. He got heavily involved in serving in the church but he describes how he had not understood the gospel, and thought his good deeds would make him right with God. God showed Lonnie the truth of the gospel that only through faith in Jesus Christ can we be made right with Him. Lonnie let go of his efforts and accepted Jesus’ work on the cross on his behalf.

Meet Ron

Meet Ron. Ron shares how he ticked the right boxes, to make it appear he was a Christian, while covering up his party lifestyle. Ron describes how God intervened in his life and showed Ron’s hypocrisy to him. For the first time Ron understood the gospel was true, that Christ really did die for him, and Ron repented of his sin and turned to Christ. Ron describes the joy and peace that comes through knowing Jesus Christ, and the futility of all those years chasing fulfillment in substances.

Meet Vicki and Bill

This is two stories in one video – married couple Vicki and Bill. Vicki talks about her luxurious lifestyle and successful career in New York, and how she could not escape from a gnawing sense of emptiness. She followed a party lifestyle for a while involving cocaine. She also got married thinking that would fill the void. Then she was invited to an event where she heard the gospel. She received Christ that night. Vicki was having severe marriage difficulties and had separated from her husband Bill.

Bill was a very successful businessman, who lived a very reckless life involving cocaine, alcohol abuse and affairs with other women. He had separated from Vicki and was living with another woman. Unbeknown to Bill, Vicki and their children were praying for Bill to come to know Jesus. Vicki arranged an evening where Bill was invited. He heard someone share their testimony and Bill decided to place his faith in Christ.

Vicki and Bill talk about how God has helped them recover their marriage. Vicki now helps other women work through their marriage difficulties.
