Tricia (USA)

Meet Tricia

Tricia shares how she grew up in a Christian home but pushed spiritual things away as a young adult. She talks about having a successful life with a good career and marriage. However, her world got turned upside down when her dad died, and her grandpa died shortly afterwards. Tricia’s life started to spiral out of control because of her anxious thoughts and it heavily impacted her marriage. God used this crisis situation to draw her back to church. She heard the gospel and trusted in Jesus for the removal of her sins. Tricia shares how freeing it was to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Now she turns to Jesus when she feels worried and He gives her rest.

Meet Bill and Roxanna

Roxanna shares how she has known God from a very young age. She has struggled in her thought life but is thankful for the Word of God and her strong and caring husband.

Bill describes the feeling of being unburdened through having God’s forgiveness. Bill has a diagnosis of cancer, but God is using that to bring Bill and Roxanna closer together, and to help their trust in Him grow.
