Meet Petra

Petra talks about her devastation when her mother died. She had called out to God to help, but when nothing happened, she thought about God no more. In her grief, she met some Christian friends and she was very drawn to their kindness. Over time, she realized that it was the love of God in them. At a Christian event, God allowed Petra to see Him clearly for the first time. She believed that Jesus died on the cross on her behalf. She delights in the personal relationship she has with Jesus, and He provides comfort and rest for Petra when she thinks about the loss of her mother.

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 Katie

Katie knew about Jesus, and asked Him into her heart without knowing what that really meant. When she got older, Katie learned about the gospel and that she could know Jesus personally. Katie placed her faith in Jesus as her Lord and Savior and describes what it’s like to have a relationship with Him. Katie got a diagnosis of breast cancer, but she didn’t struggle and is thankful for what God has chosen for her life. God has given her a way of seeing true purpose in her illness. She used her cancer as a way to reach out to family and friends and show them how God has matured her and has cared for her throughout her treatment. Katie trusts in God and she has a relaxed attitude because she knows for sure that one day she will be with Jesus in heaven.

Meet Tom

Tom came from a Catholic background. He shares how his father’s suicide impacted him and his siblings growing up. He talks about his relationship with his wife and their attendance at a Church where they heard preaching straight out of the Bible. Tom was visited by the pastor and asked if he would like to know Christ personally. Tom received Jesus into His life and asked Jesus to help him with an alcohol addiction he had battled with for 20 years. Tom shares how Jesus set him free from the addiction. Tom has since served at a local ministry for the homeless – he has a heart for others who are battling addictions. He knows that Jesus can set them free also.

Meet Anna

Anna talks about growing up going to church but feeling very indifferent to the experience. She suffered a lot of emotional pain when her parents divorced. She felt lost and like she needed answers. Anna was supported by her friends who invited her to church. At that point, God showed Anna her need for Jesus. Although Anna accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior, she did not prioritize her relationship with God at first. Now she knows her relationship with Jesus is the most important one of her life. Anna’s video includes her baptism.
