Meet Jun and Bernie

Jun and Bernie are from the Philippines but went to Australia for employment. They believed they needed to do good things to be saved, and they prayed to Mary. Both Jun and Bernie started to feel restless – that they were not growing in their faith. They heard the gospel and Bernie trusted in Jesus Christ to be her Lord and Savior. She started reading the Bible and learning, but Jun made fun of her. Bernie prayed for her husband’s salvation. In time Jun did receive Christ also. Jun talks about the order that Jesus brings to his life, and how Christ has brought his family closer.

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 Karen

Meet Karen. Karen shares how she felt enormous anger and bitterness to her father for how he treated her mother as a child. She describes how God used people around her as a young woman (including her future husband) to bring her to the Bible, and show her how much He personally loves her. Karen describes the unburdened feeling she found inviting Jesus into her life as her Lord and Savior, and also the great relief she felt after she reconciled with her father. Karen describes the fulfillment she feels with the work that God has given her to write and encourage others in her church.

Meet Zac

Zac shares how he was inspired by another person’s relationship with Jesus, to want the same. Zac began reading the Bible, and at the right time, God helped Zac understand his own personal need for Jesus. Zac asked Jesus to be his Lord and Savior and has developed a close relationship with God by reading the Bible. Zac went to Bible college and got married to Stacy. He shares that Stacy got an inoperable brain tumor. Both Zac and Stacy clung to God during those very difficult times. God gave them peace, strength, and hope. Stacy’s tumor has been shrinking, and Zac knows it’s because of God intervening.

Meet Heidi

Heidi says she started out as an atheist and disliked Christians. However, she found herself spending time and getting close to her husband’s aunt who was a Christian. Heidi opened up to her that she didn’t believe in God. Heidi reluctantly agreed to let her husband’s aunt pray for her – to be open to the truth. The next day Heidi bought a Bible with the intention of proving her husband’s aunt wrong. However, God used Heidi’s Bible reading time to convict Heidi of the truth and she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Heidi talks about the difficulties in her marriage once she became a Christian. Her husband did not want Heidi to become a follower of Christ. But Jesus has given guidance to Heidi through the Bible and mentoring from other women, and Heidi’s marriage remains intact.

Meet Jimmy

Jimmy witnessed God change his dad from a violent drunkard to a Christ follower. He hated the new way of his father and ridiculed him. Jimmy and the rest of his family were Catholic. Jimmy started attending a Bible-believing church and could tell there was something different about it. Jimmy started reading the Bible and one day he personally encountered Christ. Jimmy talks about weeping over his sins that day. Jimmy describes what it’s like to personally know Jesus – rather than simply know about him as in the Catholic tradition. Jimmy is now passionate about helping other people in India know the Lord Jesus Christ. His prayer is that India would become a Christian country who could worship God together.
