Lore (USA)

Meet Lore

Lore describes some difficult things that happened to her growing up – her brother was tragically killed and her parents divorced. She felt lonely, but that loneliness was overcome when she joined a very welcoming church. She describes hearing the gospel at church but never really understood about Jesus, His death and her sin. Her deep sense of lack of peace came to a climax when she told her pastor (and employer) that she had doubts about God’s existence. Shortly thereafter she gave up her whole life and moved to another state just so she could sit in on a Bible study run by Jen Wilkin. There, reading Genesis 1:1, God revealed Himself to Lore and she believed the truth of the gospel. Over the next few months reading the book of Genesis, Lore came to a rich understanding of God and her own sin.

Lindsey (USA)

Meet Lindsey

Lindsey describes how she invited Jesus into her life at a young age. She shares that she got pregnant with her boyfriend and chose abortion because of fear. Lindsey describes the mental turmoil; guilt and secrecy that heavily impacted her life. God used Lindsey’s husband and a Bible study, to show her His love and the forgiveness that He provides. She also learned how self-forgiveness is a lie, as it’s God alone who has the authority to forgive. Lindsey is now set free from her past and able to enjoy her relationships with her husband, children, and most importantly, God.
