Meet Jackie

Jackie was aware of Christianity from childhood but as an adult, she didn’t care about spiritual things and thought science answered it all. Through family, Jackie enrolled in a Bible study and God showed her how much she had to learn about Him. Jackie came to believe in Jesus and trusts that His death took away her sins. She now feels a happiness she never had, she has purpose for her life and she loves to read the Bible.

Meet Jim

Jim is a magician. He talks about how he had a skeptical mind and thought that the idea of God was make-believe. Jim describes his experience of life-threatening leukemia and the search for a blood donor. God used the experience of needing blood from another person to help Jim understand the gospel and the blood sacrifice of Christ and the new life we have in Him. Jim is thankful for what God allowed in his life, as He used it to show Jim truth.

Meet Gemma

Gemma is from Ireland but emigrated to the USA. She was sexually abused as a child and this deeply troubled her as an adult. She dismissed the Bible and Jesus and didn’t believe in God. She started searching for God in her thirties. God brought her to a place where she could understand she was a sinner in need of a Savior. Having placed her faith in Christ she no longer feels shame over her abuse and has been able to forgive her abuser.

Meet Heidi

Heidi says she started out as an atheist and disliked Christians. However, she found herself spending time and getting close to her husband’s aunt who was a Christian. Heidi opened up to her that she didn’t believe in God. Heidi reluctantly agreed to let her husband’s aunt pray for her – to be open to the truth. The next day Heidi bought a Bible with the intention of proving her husband’s aunt wrong. However, God used Heidi’s Bible reading time to convict Heidi of the truth and she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Heidi talks about the difficulties in her marriage once she became a Christian. Her husband did not want Heidi to become a follower of Christ. But Jesus has given guidance to Heidi through the Bible and mentoring from other women, and Heidi’s marriage remains intact.
