Meet Monica

Monica shares that she experienced neglect and a lack of love in her childhood. Monica grew up with low self-esteem, and she sought love through sexual relationships. Monica did not grow up knowing the Bible, and found it hard to understand. Monica joined the Catholic church as an adult. Despite regular attendance at church she still felt there was something missing. Monica was invited to a Bible-preaching church where she heard the gospel for the first time. Monica trusted Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. Monica knows that God has forgiven her for her past choices, including an abortion she had as a young woman. Monica shares she would have liked to get married and have a family, but she is content and happy serving in the National Guard. She trusts in God’s plan for her life.

Meet Ritsuko

Ritsuko felt unloved as a child and she was a very unhappy adult. All she wanted was love and acceptance. She talks about her eating disorder, drinking, and promiscuity. She wondered if Jesus could be God, especially as there were other gods worshipped in Japan. Nevertheless, she went to church, sang gospel songs and placed her faith in Jesus. She talks about the joy of knowing that God loves her. She has a genuine smile now and desires to show Christ’s love to others.
