Petra (Czech Republic)

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.

Julia (USA)

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.
