Meet Deb and Dave

Deb placed her faith in Jesus Christ as a child. When she met Dave as a young adult, Dave did not know God personally. Dave asked Deb if she would date him. She said no but redirected Dave to undertake a Bible study. Following the Bible study, Dave received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Dave and Deb got married and had children. They talk about how God helped them through a very difficult time when their son was seriously ill. Dave changed his job to become a pastor. He shares how grateful he is to God for all God has done in his life.

Meet Jodi

Jodi describes growing up around the gospel without ever really understanding it. She encountered tragedy when her dad died, and her grandma’s health deteriorated to the point that she couldn’t recognise family. Jodi was struck by how close her grandma was to Jesus, and her certainty about heaven. God showed Jodi that she didn’t know how to get to heaven. After completing a Bible study Jody believed the gospel and placed her faith in Christ. Now she knows she has eternal life.

Meet Bill and Roxanna

Roxanna shares how she has known God from a very young age. She has struggled in her thought life but is thankful for the Word of God and her strong and caring husband. Bill started out with very little purpose in life. He served in the Vietnam war and suffered mentally as a result. God used this time in Bill’s life to help him see his sin and need for a Savior. Bill describes the feeling of being unburdened through having God’s forgiveness. Bill has a diagnosis of cancer, but God is using that to bring Bill and Roxanna closer together, and to help their trust in Him grow.

Meet Mark

In Mark’s interview he talks about how he became a Christian and how his relationship with God has helped him in different areas of his life, including parenting and anxiety. Mark shares that he did not have a good relationship with his dad growing up. His dad suffered from bipolar disorder which made life very unstable for Mark. Mark didn’t learn how to have a personal relationship with Jesus until he was an adult during a time when his stepson was gravely ill. He describes being with his stepson in hospital and praying to God with a Bible in his hand. A stranger walked past Mark and showed him the verses in his Bible he needed to know to receive Christ. Mark has embraced God’s fatherly love for Him, which has healed the void left by his relationship with his earthly father.

Meet Zac

Zac shares how he was inspired by another person’s relationship with Jesus, to want the same. Zac began reading the Bible, and at the right time, God helped Zac understand his own personal need for Jesus. Zac asked Jesus to be his Lord and Savior and has developed a close relationship with God by reading the Bible. Zac went to Bible college and got married to Stacy. He shares that Stacy got an inoperable brain tumor. Both Zac and Stacy clung to God during those very difficult times. God gave them peace, strength, and hope. Stacy’s tumor has been shrinking, and Zac knows it’s because of God intervening.
