Meredith (USA)

Meet Meredith

Merideth knew the gospel growing up but into adult years she describes pushing God away and following sinful choices. She had doubts about God, and life got close to breaking point for her through a set of circumstances. Following her marriage and becoming a mom, Merideth started attending a church and Bible study. Through that, she understood that God is willing and able to forgive her for her sins. She placed her faith in Jesus’ work on the cross and now has freedom knowing she is forgiven.

Joe (Australia)

Meet Joe

Joe came from a strong Catholic background. He had a fear of God, went to confession many times, but felt so hopeless because of failing God’s standards for living. Joe resigned himself to thinking he would go to hell when he died. Joe talks about getting in with the wrong crowd, all the while still thinking about God. In time, God used Joe’s wife to expose him to the truth of the gospel and Christ’s atoning death and finished work for his sins. Joe was rejected by his father for leaving the Catholic tradition to follow Christ. Having once been unsure about the phrase ‘born again’ – Joe now is happy to share that he is a born again Christian and Jesus Christ is number one in his life.
