Meet Bridget

Bridget is originally from Zimbabwe. She moved to South Africa and found the transition very hard. Bridget describes having an emptiness in her life and lacking direction. She was just about to move again to Australia to find what she was looking for, when she was invited to a church and heard the gospel. Bridget explains she learned two things: that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship with Christ, and that salvation is through faith alone and not by her good works. She trusted in Christ and has found the purpose and direction for her life that she longed for.

Meet Korey

Korey describes some shaky early years at college and a young marriage that failed. Korey felt lost without purpose. Korey married again and had his own business. 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 Stella

Stella is from Communist Romania and grew up in the Greek Orthodox tradition. By her teens, Stella decided that it was impossible for her to reach heaven and that God was angry and punishing her for her sins. Stella moved to the US in her twenties without any family or friends. She began searching for ways to reach God. Stella tried meditation, eastern religions, but could not attain what she was looking for. Then she was invited to a gospel-preaching church. Stella realized that it is Jesus Christ alone who can bring her to God. She trusted in Him for the removal of her sins. She talks about the peace she now has.

Meet Mark

In Mark’s interview he talks about how he became a Christian and how his relationship with God has helped him in different areas of his life, including parenting and anxiety. Mark shares that he did not have a good relationship with his dad growing up. His dad suffered from bipolar disorder which made life very unstable for Mark. Mark didn’t learn how to have a personal relationship with Jesus until he was an adult during a time when his stepson was gravely ill. He describes being with his stepson in hospital and praying to God with a Bible in his hand. A stranger walked past Mark and showed him the verses in his Bible he needed to know to receive Christ. Mark has embraced God’s fatherly love for Him, which has healed the void left by his relationship with his earthly father.

Meet Anna

Anna talks about growing up going to church but feeling very indifferent to the experience. She suffered a lot of emotional pain when her parents divorced. She felt lost and like she needed answers. Anna was supported by her friends who invited her to church. At that point, God showed Anna her need for Jesus. Although Anna accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior, she did not prioritize her relationship with God at first. Now she knows her relationship with Jesus is the most important one of her life. Anna’s video includes her baptism.

Anna’s story was produced by Eagles Landing First Baptist Church, McDonough, Georgia, USA.
