Meet Gordon

Gordon put on a front while feeling empty and having very low self-esteem. His life spiraled into drug and alcohol addiction, as well as pornography use and sex. Nothing gave satisfaction. Gordon reached a very low point and was about to take drugs again after completing rehab. But Jesus Christ stopped him and showed him how much He loved him. Gordon placed his faith in Jesus and knows he’s washed clean from his sin. He has found true satisfaction in Christ, is no longer an addict, and has peace and hope for his life.

Meet Bridget

Bridget is originally from Zimbabwe. She moved to South Africa and found the transition very hard. Bridget describes having an emptiness in her life and lacking direction. She was just about to move again to Australia to find what she was looking for, when she was invited to a church and heard the gospel. Bridget explains she learned two things: that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship with Christ, and that salvation is through faith alone and not by her good works. She trusted in Christ and has found the purpose and direction for her life that she longed for.
