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 Sam

In this interview, Sam shares that she didn’t grow up in a Christian home. Her parents divorced when she was 8 and that left her very hurt. She found herself curious about a God she never knew. She started learning a lot about Jesus and spent time around Christians. When she finished high school, Sam worked abroad and put God out of her mind. At the same time, she describes feeling very unhappy, knowing she was living a life not pleasing to God. When she returned to Australia Sam joined a church and quickly discovered the acceptance Jesus has for sinners. Sam understood Jesus died for her. She describes the unshakeable joy and contentment she has in her life knowing Jesus and knowing she has eternal life.

Meet Paul

Paul explains how he did not grow up in a Christian home in the UK, and had no spiritual interests. He experienced a lot of emotional pain as a teenager because his brother got very sick and his father suffered from a terminal illness during Paul’s teenage years. Paul began a two-year hunt for God following a conversation with a Buddhist. He spent time comparing the different world religions, but in the end, concluded that Jesus was really God. In time, Paul understood he needed to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Paul is now a pastor in Sydney, Australia. In this interview, he also shares some thoughts from pastoral life.

Des was an Olympic-level athlete and he talks about how his training in athletics has carried over into his Christian life. He also shares that he spent too many hours working in his career. This put a strain on his marriage and ultimately led to a divorce. Des encourages husbands to love and care for their wives as Christ has intended.

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.

Meet Mal

This video is an interview with Mal Gill about his salvation story. The video ends with prayers. Mal shares how he grew up in a model Christian home where he seen the gospel lived out in the lives of his parents. His father had been shot multiple times and survived. He took Mal along to prison visits to do Bible studies with the young guys who had shot him. Despite this, Mal did not personalize the gospel. As a teenager, he attended a Bible camp so he could spend time with a girl. But it was there that God convicted Mal of his need of forgiveness, and Mal trusted in Christ’s work on the cross. Mal went on to become a pastor. He shares how he got through cancer treatment leaning on God.

Meet Mark

In Mark’s interview he talks about how he became a Christian and how his relationship with God has helped him in different areas of his life, including parenting and anxiety. Mark shares that he did not have a good relationship with his dad growing up. His dad suffered from bipolar disorder which made life very unstable for Mark. Mark didn’t learn how to have a personal relationship with Jesus until he was an adult during a time when his stepson was gravely ill. He describes being with his stepson in hospital and praying to God with a Bible in his hand. A stranger walked past Mark and showed him the verses in his Bible he needed to know to receive Christ. Mark has embraced God’s fatherly love for Him, which has healed the void left by his relationship with his earthly father.
