Joseph (USA)

Meet Joseph

Joseph tells his story of growing up as a Mormon and priding himself on his religious deeds, but the Bible showed him he needed Jesus’ righteousness, freely available to him by believing in Jesus’ substitutionary death.

Joseph grew up in a Mormon home and took his religion very seriously. A former Mormon challenged Joseph while he was on missions to start over with the Bible and read it like a child.

Joseph shares how God opened his eyes while he read through the Bible. He came to understand that no-one can come to God and be saved by their religious deeds. Joseph repented of his self-righteousness and works, and trusted solely in God’s grace and Jesus’ death on the cross to pay the price for his sins.

Since becoming a Christian, Joseph has experienced alienation from his family who are still practicing Mormons. Nevertheless is passionate about helping people caught in religious systems understand the truth of the gospel, the depths of God’s love and the personal relationship on offer with Jesus Christ.

Micah (USA)

Meet Micah

Micah describes how he was a very passionate member of the Mormon Church. However, while he was completing his two-year missionary work in Florida, a Baptist pastor shared the gospel with him and challenged him to read the Bible like a child. Micah spent the next 18 months reading through the New Testament. What he discovered was that none of his good works and Mormon ordinances could ever make him right with God. That Jesus’ work on the cross was sufficient payment for his sins. Micah is emotional when describing his discovery of the love of God and grace of God towards him. A love that Mormonism doesn’t offer. Micah shares how God used his testimony to bring his friends and family to a saving faith in Jesus.
