Patrice (Australia)

Meet Patrice

Patrice was a very ambitious guy who did well at everything he tried – college, martial arts, and his own business. He talks about the frustration of never feeling satisfied, and needing the approval of others. He became interested in spiritual things and went to a church where he heard the gospel. He believed that Jesus died for him, and all his performance anxiety and weight he was carrying was lifted off his shoulders. His life now has peace and centers around Jesus.

Cindy (Dominican Republic)

Meet Cindy

Cindy explains how she was a very career-orientated woman, and after she got married she passionately pursued her career. She talks about the stresses on her marriage as a newlywed. Around this same time, she felt compelled to find spiritual answers. She had grown up in the Catholic tradition, but her husband had an evangelical background. She attended an evangelical church. Her spiritual curiosity grew, and she ended up at an evangelical conference in the US, where she believed the gospel and became a follower of Jesus Christ.

God has shown Cindy through the Bible His design for womanhood and the family. Over time God changed Cindy’s thinking about work and home life. Cindy shares how God did the unthinkable in her life by giving her the desire to become a stay at home mom and homeschool her children. Cindy experiences joy in her life because she knows she’s living out God’s will for her, rather than what the world defines as success in a woman’s life.
