Meet Mark

Mark’s life revolved around his job as school principal. Then he got sick with leukemia. God had placed a man in Mark’s life who was able to pray for him and help him accept Jesus into his life. Mark talks about the instant change in his thinking and desires once he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Mark feels a peace and a freedom because he no longer has to ‘run the show’. Mark asked Christ to help him with his cancer. Since his prayer, Mark started to see progressive improvement in his condition. He is now back at work, with a completely new set of priorities in life.

Meet Nathan

Nathan shares how an older kid sexually abused him while he was very young. He talks about the guilt and shame he felt. Nathan describes that the abuse awakened a curiosity in him – which moved from pornography – to paying for sex – by the time he was a young adult. He knew he had gone too far, and he felt utterly hopeless. Just as he was about to throw himself onto train tracks, God brought to mind a verse from the Bible he had learned as a kid – “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:32). This was the turning point in Nathan’s life. He believed in the gospel and God started rebuilding Nathan’s life. Today Nathan is married with children and works as a family counseling pastor.

Meet Jenn

Jenn had a happy childhood which quickly turned to deep emotional pain when her parents split up during her teens. Jenn entered into a life of parties, prescription drugs and alcohol to cope with life. In order to support her siblings, she became a model for former Playboy photographers. She feared for her life when a trip away to do a photo shoot turned into illicit activities in which she was held against her will. Soon after her ordeal, she went to church. There she heard about Christ and received Him as her Lord and Savior. She describes how He rescued her. Today Jenn is a wife and mother and leads a ministry that helps others recover from lives out of control. Jenn says she is completely dependent on Christ every day of her life.

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.
