Grant (USA)

Meet Grant

Grant shares that he was anxious about hell growing up and repeatedly prayed a prayer for salvation. Grant was raised in a Christian home but didn’t begin a personal relationship with God until someone challenged him if he was a true Christian or not. Since then, Grant has given control of his life to God, and God is leading him, teaching him and has tested him in the genuineness of his faith. Grant hopes to go to Bible college and become a youth pastor. He wants to use his life to serve God.

Josh (South Korea)

Meet Josh

Josh began life in the Buddhist tradition and contemplated becoming a monk. His journey for spiritual truth ended when he placed his faith in Jesus Christ. God allowed severe testing in Josh’s young Christian life – largely through the alienation that occurred from his family. Josh made the choice to put God first, and in time God worked a miracle in Josh’s family by saving his parents and siblings. Josh shows Biblical insight into dealing with suffering as a Christian.
