Meet Julia

Julia had a difficult childhood growing up in a home with her father who struggled with drugs and her mom who had to keep everything together. As an adult, Julia felt shame about her dad, and did things to win approval from others. Julia was brought up in the Catholic church and went through the motions of going to church. Her eyes were completely opened to the truth of the gospel when she learned that works would not get her into heaven. She also discovered she was lacking a personal relationship with Jesus. Julia accepted Jesus’ work on the cross to make her right with God, and now she knows she will get to heaven because of what He has done.

Meet Brady

Brady shares that he was a practicing Catholic but his faith was more about going through the motions and he didn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus. Brady didn’t know he could have the certainty of eternal life and he thought doing good things would get him to heaven. A work colleague showed him the truth from the Bible, and Brady accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Brady describes how God has drastically changed his mindset about money and possessions.

Meet Jun and Bernie

Jun and Bernie are from the Philippines but went to Australia for employment. They believed they needed to do good things to be saved, and they prayed to Mary. Both Jun and Bernie started to feel restless – that they were not growing in their faith. They heard the gospel and Bernie trusted in Jesus Christ to be her Lord and Savior. She started reading the Bible and learning, but Jun made fun of her. Bernie prayed for her husband’s salvation. In time Jun did receive Christ also. Jun talks about the order that Jesus brings to his life, and how Christ has brought his family closer.

Meet Joe

Joe came from a strong Catholic background. He had a fear of God, went to confession many times, but felt so hopeless because of failing God’s standards for living. Joe resigned himself to thinking he would go to hell when he died. Joe talks about getting in with the wrong crowd, all the while still thinking about God. In time, God used Joe’s wife to expose him to the truth of the gospel and Christ’s atoning death and finished work for his sins. Joe was rejected by his father for leaving the Catholic tradition to follow Christ. Having once been unsure about the phrase ‘born again’ – Joe now is happy to share that he is a born again Christian and Jesus Christ is number one in his life.

Meet Monica

Monica shares that she experienced neglect and a lack of love in her childhood. Monica grew up with low self-esteem, and she sought love through sexual relationships. Monica did not grow up knowing the Bible, and found it hard to understand. Monica joined the Catholic church as an adult. Despite regular attendance at church she still felt there was something missing. Monica was invited to a Bible-preaching church where she heard the gospel for the first time. Monica trusted Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. Monica knows that God has forgiven her for her past choices, including an abortion she had as a young woman. Monica shares she would have liked to get married and have a family, but she is content and happy serving in the National Guard. She trusts in God’s plan for her life.

Meet Jimmy

Jimmy witnessed God change his dad from a violent drunkard to a Christ follower. He hated the new way of his father and ridiculed him. Jimmy and the rest of his family were Catholic. Jimmy started attending a Bible-believing church and could tell there was something different about it. Jimmy started reading the Bible and one day he personally encountered Christ. Jimmy talks about weeping over his sins that day. Jimmy describes what it’s like to personally know Jesus – rather than simply know about him as in the Catholic tradition. Jimmy is now passionate about helping other people in India know the Lord Jesus Christ. His prayer is that India would become a Christian country who could worship God together.
