Meet Barry

Barry shares how he got involved with the wrong crowd and drugs in his teens. Barry went through the motions of baptism without understanding it and without really having an interest in God. Barry continued to be indifferent about spiritual things until he saw the changes in his wife’s life when she began a relationship with God. Barry then responded to the gospel and trusted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He got baptized again, this time understanding the purpose of it.

Meet Matt

Matt didn’t grow up in a Christian home. He experienced trauma as a teenager when his father died in an accident. Matt had bouts of depression at college and turned to alcohol. After he met his wife, they both started attending church. Matt says it was simply box ticking. In time, he got more curious about Christianity and the Bible. With the help of a pastor, he finally understood what the gospel was and what Jesus’ death and righteousness meant for him. He now wants Christ’s light to shine through him.

Meet Cody

Cody talks about growing up in a home with good morals but no God. As an adult, he didn’t think he needed help to know God. Cody got invited to a gospel-preaching church and found out that he had deep curiosity and longing to learn more about the Bible and spiritual things. Cody heard and accepted the fact that Jesus died for his sins. Cody describes how God has changed his heart. He feels joy, and so much love towards his wife.

Meet Stella

Stella is from Communist Romania and grew up in the Greek Orthodox tradition. By her teens, Stella decided that it was impossible for her to reach heaven and that God was angry and punishing her for her sins. Stella moved to the US in her twenties without any family or friends. She began searching for ways to reach God. Stella tried meditation, eastern religions, but could not attain what she was looking for. Then she was invited to a gospel-preaching church. Stella realized that it is Jesus Christ alone who can bring her to God. She trusted in Him for the removal of her sins. She talks about the peace she now has.

Meet Phil

Phil talks about how he was living for himself. He had no interest in spiritual things until a friend encouraged him to read the Bible. Reluctantly, Phil started doing Bible study with his friend. He talks about how scripture made sense to him. Phil believed that salvation comes through grace, and he understood it was all about what Jesus did for him – not what he could do for Jesus. Phil shares that he no longer lives for himself but puts Christ first, followed by his wife and son.

Meet Patrice

Patrice was a very ambitious guy who did well at everything he tried – college, martial arts, and his own business. He talks about the frustration of never feeling satisfied, and needing the approval of others. He became interested in spiritual things and went to a church where he heard the gospel. He believed that Jesus died for him, and all his performance anxiety and weight he was carrying was lifted off his shoulders. His life now has peace and centers around Jesus.
