Meet Gordon

Gordon put on a front while feeling empty and having very low self-esteem. His life spiraled into drug and alcohol addiction, as well as pornography use and sex. Nothing gave satisfaction. Gordon reached a very low point and was about to take drugs again after completing rehab. But Jesus Christ stopped him and showed him how much He loved him. Gordon placed his faith in Jesus and knows he’s washed clean from his sin. He has found true satisfaction in Christ, is no longer an addict, and has peace and hope for his life.

Meet Yuji

Yuji believed in the truth that Jesus died for his sins the first time he visited a church and heard the gospel. He talks about experiencing a peace, not of this world, when he trusted in Christ. Yuji describes the remarkable way that God used Yuji’s experience of the Tohoku earthquake that hit Japan in 2011 to change Yuji’s purpose in life. Sitting in the warmth and shelter of his church in the initial aftermath of the earthquake, God showed Yuji how left out the Japanese people are from God’s love and protection, and how they don’t know that the key to heaven is Jesus. Yuji subsequently gave up his job and became a pastor to reach other people with the gospel for God.

Meet Mark

Mark’s life revolved around his job as school principal. Then he got sick with leukemia. God had placed a man in Mark’s life who was able to pray for him and help him accept Jesus into his life. Mark talks about the instant change in his thinking and desires once he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Mark feels a peace and a freedom because he no longer has to ‘run the show’. Mark asked Christ to help him with his cancer. Since his prayer, Mark started to see progressive improvement in his condition. He is now back at work, with a completely new set of priorities in life.

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.
