Meet Steve

Steve describes the tragedy of his mother dying while he was a baby, and his father’s alcoholism and inability to care for him and his siblings. As a young person, Steve developed an addiction to alcohol. His marriage failed and his life spun out of control. Steve remarried and he was invited to do a Bible study. The pastor explained the gospel in a way Steve could understand. Steve accepted Jesus’ work to make him right with God. Steve asked Jesus to take away his alcohol addiction, which Jesus did. Steve knows God can radically change a person with his power.

Meet Korey

But God gave Korey a wake-up call about the sin in his life – that his sin was sending him to hell. Korey accepted Jesus as His Lord and Savior. He loves the peace of mind he now has. No matter what life brings, he knows Jesus is in control and will take care of him.

Meet Des

Des is 91 years old, and he’s been a Christian for 76 years. In this interview, he talks about being a teenager during WW2. He attended an evangelistic event and for several months afterward was haunted by a feeling of being unclean. Des’ father arranged a surprise meeting with the evangelist who spoke at the event and Des placed his faith in Christ. He talks about the radical change that occurred in his life at that time. Des was an Olympic-level athlete and he talks about how his training in athletics has carried over into his Christian life. He also shares that he spent too many hours working in his career. This put a strain on his marriage and ultimately led to a divorce. Des encourages husbands to love and care for their wives as Christ has intended.

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.
