Meet David

David literally darkened his world, blocking out any light from entering his apartment. Depressed and grief-stricken from the death of his mother – God entered David’s world – bringing His light, love and life.

David talks about the devastating impact that the death of his mother had on him as a ten year old boy. Filled with sadness and pain, he ran away from home and got involved in crime. He also started taking drugs and was aggressive.

David became obsessed with death and darkened his apartment, refusing to have any light come in. He describes having an epileptic seizure at which point God showed David how much darkness was in his soul. David cried out to God for help.

Thereafter, David started attending a church where the pastor explained why David felt so empty and unfulfilled. David heard the Gospel and believed in the truth that Jesus died for him to take away his sins.

David describes how Jesus has turned his life around. He has joy and purpose. He now lives for Jesus who he describes as his best friend, the one who shows David love every day.

Meet Steven

Steven was a New Age Teacher until his inner thought life became very dark. He ran to Jesus for help and forgiveness. Steven warns people to stop trying to find themselves and turn to Christ. 

Steven grew up around Christianity and attended a private Christian school. He became deeply interested in New Age Spirituality. His study and practices of New Age Spirituality were intense. He set up a website teaching about New Age Spirituality and earned a lot of money through it.

Steven talks about how he prospered financially, but that on the inside he was wasting away. He was angry and had psychopathic thoughts. His dark inner life became so overwhelming it broke him.

Steven had also been studying Christian apologetics, and his restlessness about Jesus finally ended when he saw his own brokenness and need for repentance. He turned to Jesus and trusted in Him as Lord and Savior. He has found the wholeness he was searching for.

Steven earnestly warns New Agers to stop playing “Russian Roulette” and to believe on Jesus for eternal life.

Meet Sam

Hard-hearted Sam was just about to seriously assault someone when God brought to mind Bible verses which caused Sam to repent of his sin and turn to Christ.

Sam shares how he led a life of crime and violence throughout his teens. His heart had become very hardened towards other people. However, on one occasion when he was about to assault someone, God brought to mind some Bible verses from the Book of Romans. Sam instantly saw his sin in a new light and he understood for the first time that Jesus died for him.

Since the time of Sam’s conversion, he has relocated from Wales, UK to Scotland, UK in order to be discipled and follow Jesus more closely. He has also become a male youth worker as part of a gospel ministry. Sam talks about the love he has for the young kids who live in some of the most economically deprived areas of Scotland. His passion is to let them know that they have hope in Jesus too.

Meet Jim

Jim grew up around Christianity but it seemed unimportant to him. He spent time in the army and has had a long career in the police force. Jim talks about his hard-heartedness and selfishness. He encountered Christian men but had misconceptions about them. Jim’s brother got seriously sick and became a Christian. At that point God turned Jim’s heart towards Him and Jim decided to become a Christian also. Jim talks about how straightforward it is to become a Christian, and if he had known the truth about Christianity, he would have become a Christian when he was much younger.

Meet Julia

Julia had a difficult childhood growing up in a home with her father who struggled with drugs and her mom who had to keep everything together. As an adult, Julia felt shame about her dad, and did things to win approval from others. Julia was brought up in the Catholic church and went through the motions of going to church. Her eyes were completely opened to the truth of the gospel when she learned that works would not get her into heaven. She also discovered she was lacking a personal relationship with Jesus. Julia accepted Jesus’ work on the cross to make her right with God, and now she knows she will get to heaven because of what He has done.
