Meet Joni

Joni talks about life with Jesus after a freak accident that left her quadriplegic.

Joni was a very athletic kid. She heard the gospel as a girl, and knew she couldn’t make it to heaven by her own efforts. So she received Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

Before going off to college, Joni prayed for God to help her live a life pleasing to Him. Soon after, she was involved in a horrendous diving accident. Her sister saved her life, but Joni’s spinal cord was snapped. Joni became quadriplegic.

Joni cried out to God in confusion and pain, asking Him why He had allowed the injury to happen. Through scripture, God gave Joni a new way of looking at her accident, and she realized that God may allow things to happen to her body, but that He would never harm her soul.

Joni describes her minute-to-minute dependence on God in order to live life in a quadraplegic body. She says there is nothing like the intimate union she has with Jesus: the “hell” of her suffering pales in comparison to the ecstasy of her relationship with Jesus.

Meet Cheyane

Cheyane is a fire-fighter who was involved in a horrifying accident while on duty. He was sure he was going to be burned to death. In the midst of the craziest moments of his life, he had a peace about what was happening to him because of his relationship with Jesus Christ. He knew he would go to heaven if he died. Cheyane had accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior 10 years previously. Before then, he had always pushed God away and had lived life for himself with partying and girls.

Meet “Whispering Danny”

Danny explains the origin of his name is because of a health condition with his larynx. Danny emigrated from the former USSR to the US and his family are Jewish. He describes his passion for tattoos, his alcohol addiction and reckless living. Danny witnessed a horrific motorcycle accident that left his good friend for dead. Through the dire circumstances of his friend’s accident, God made Danny curious to know more about Him. He describes doing a Google search in the middle of the night. He read about the gospel and trusted in Christ as his Lord and Savior. He explains what it’s like to be a Christian from a Jewish family. Danny is deeply satisfied by the real relationship he has with God through Jesus Christ.
