Have you ever desired a purpose in your life? Have you ever longed for real joy and an inner peace? My name is Abbi Pasterski, and this is my story. For several years, I lived my life trying to acquire these things. Let me tell you how I came to find them.
I Thought I Was Doing Just Fine;
Then the Lord Showed Me My Greatest Need

Growing up in South Florida, I believed there was a God. I thought that all religions would eventually lead a person to God, provided they tried their best to be good and to follow that religion.

April 28, 2005, started out as any other day….for a school teacher mother of three high-school aged teenagers and wife to a husband who often traveled for work. It was a bit of an easier day because the elementary students that I teach were headed on a field trip.
I Finally Realized I Could Not Rid Myself of My Sin;
Only God Could Take It from Me

Only God Could Take It from Me
-Robin Follett
My name is Robin Follett, and this is my story. I thought I knew Christ as my Savior when I was nine years old. I went forward during an invitation at my church, and someone explained to me what Christ did for me on the cross. I don’t remember praying or anything after that (which troubled me later in my life), but I hung on to that “experience” for 23 years.

I Thought I Was OK with God

My name is Dave Follett, and this is my story. I am thankful for the upbringing I had. My parents were moral and took me to Sunday School every Sunday. In my teen years, I became very active in the teen group at my church and was involved in the leadership of the group.
Nothing But Leaves

Hello. My name is Joel Dafoe, and I would like tell you a bit about myself. All my life I have attended church, prayed to God, and read my Bible. I learned these things as a young boy mostly because my father was the pastor of a Baptist church, and these things were expected of me.
The Most Important Thing in Life-Dean Cefola
I was born on October 3, 1977, to Dan and Francine Cefola. From that moment, even though I didn’t know it, I was condemned to die. The reason is because about 6,000 years ago, the first man and woman disobeyed God and became what the Bible calls sinners. From that point on, this sin has been passed on to everyone who has ever been born.
Do You Believe in Miracles?

Do you know what an inoculation is? Maybe as a child you were immunized with shots so that if you were exposed to measles and whooping cough and other diseases, your body would be immune to them. What happened is that a weakened form of the real disease was put into your body while you were young, and your immune system fought against it, and won. And by doing that you built up a resistance to that disease so you would never contract the full-blown disease. For me, growing up in a Christian home was like that immunization shot. I was “inoculated against being a true Christian.” Let me explain.
I Hoped My Good Works Would Offset My Sin

For as long as I can remember, I was at church every time the doors were open. I was raised knowing that the only way to be saved and to go to Heaven was through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
My Good Works Were Not Good Enough!
-Graeme Anderson
-Graeme Anderson
My name is Graeme Anderson, and this is my story. From my early childhood in South Africa, I remember attending a Baptist church and going to a school where the Bible was taught. My parents had a strong belief in God; their faith was evident as they gave to others and strove to place God as the head of our family.
