Meet Crystal

Crystal describes instability in her teenage years, including a teen pregnancy, a party lifestyle, and multiple relationships with guys. Crystal shares how angry she felt towards God when her boyfriend was killed. Crystal became dependent on alcohol and was very troubled on the inside. That all changed for Crystal when she heard about Jesus, and accepted him as her Lord and Savior. Crystal enjoys the forgiveness only God gives, and the steady guidance from God. She now understands that her anger and emotional problems stemmed from her sinful choices.

Meet Connie

Connie shares she wanted approval as a young person and fell in with the wrong crowd. Alcohol became a big part of Connie’s life. Connie thought going to church was about following rules. That all changed when Connie heard the gospel and she accepted Jesus’ work to make her perfect in God’s eyes. Despite finding it hard to hand control of her life over to Jesus, Connie now clings to Him and loves His acceptance of her. God has ended Connie’s reliance on alcohol.

Meet Tomasz

Tomasz describes the devastating toll that his alcohol addiction took on his life: he lost several jobs, his marriage fell apart, he became homeless. Tomasz had moved from his native Poland to England. In desperation and hopelessness – he tried to kill himself several times. He had been brought up in a Communist country and had been an atheist all his life. Tomasz was homeless and found hospitality and a welcome at a church. He began to read about Jesus Christ and responded in belief to what Christ had done for him. He now has the joy of being a follower of Christ and is set free from his old ways.
