Meet Bryan

Bryan describes how he went to church as a kid but never really heard about sin. When he did hear the gospel he was angry and upset because he found it hard to accept he was a sinner. But God drew Bryan to himself and he accepted Jesus’ work to make him right with God. For a while, Bryan wandered from God and he developed an all-consuming hobby collecting toys. God used a house flood as a means to bring Bryan’s focus back to him and give up his idol.

Meet Kendall

Kendall describes hearing the gospel aged 9 and receiving Christ as his Lord and Savior. In his early teens, Kendall lived for God. This changed when Kendall fell in with the wrong crowd, and lived a party lifestyle at high-school and college. However, God drew Kendall back to himself and gave Kendall a reality check about the purpose of his life. Kendall is thankful for the strong support he got from an older friend, and Kendall is now passionate about offering friendship and help to other men as they learn to follow Jesus.

Meet Josh

Josh has known God from a young age. He is certain he is going to heaven because he has trusted in Jesus’ work alone to make him right with God. For a while as a young man, Josh drifted away from God. He lacked passion about spiritual things and lived to please himself. God gently gave Josh a wake-up call that life is about living for Him. Now Josh passionately serves God.
