Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
True Christian testimonies.
Near the beginning of Dave’s story, we see the following:
In 1991, my second son, Greg, who was only 18 months old, was diagnosed with AML leukemia. I was crushed, because I feared for his death, and wanted to be able to love him for my entire life.
I don’t know about you, but this story breaks my heart. It crushes my spirit and causes me to ask, as a father, “Why God? WHY?”
Hannah submitted her testimony to us a few days back. It’s not a typical testimony, as it doesn’t detail her conversion experience. But a testimony of God’s grace and power doesn’t always have to be a conversion experience. It can simply be a story of what God has done for you–how He has been real to you and changed your life.

Alaina says she’s just a kid. Well, that makes her testimony that much more impressive, because she sounds pretty mature to me. I love the following quote in her testimony:
I don’t know how life-changing my story was to you, because after a lot of Bible-reading and praying, these became things that I just knew.
Isn’t it true? If we read, we will know. And that quote portrays another elementary truth about God: He has given us everything we need for life and peace. We have His Word–His letter to us. What will we do with it?
Justin’s journey to Christ was filled with obstacles. He grew up hating Christ. He was almost killed multiple times in motorcycle and car accidents. He married a Hindu woman and looked for meaning in Hinduism. But ultimately he found only emptiness . . . until he found Jesus.
While on his knees in prayer one night, God gave Frank a little surprise!
Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it does. This is Jessica’s testimony and it’s riveting (at least it was to me).
Doug was raised in an abusive Mormon household. He gravitated to witchcraft, Satanism, homosexuality . . .
He ended up homeless and hopeless, until God plucked him out of his mess and set him on firm ground. Check out his story.
In his testimony, Kevin tells us that
I felt depressed during my freshman year of High School. I couldn’t concentrate, I had low test scores, I was just wandering through life – not having a purpose or an identity. I thought that if I could find my purpose in this life I would be motivated and then I could truly begin to live.
Read his story of how he found his life’s purpose.
Mohana’s journey from Hinduism to Jesus Christ.
Elaine’s testimony is yet another example of how Christianity can (and should) appeal to one’s intellect. She considered herself one of the “enlightened” ones for years. Her New Age belief system taught her that Christians were liars, intolerant and controlling. She was on her way to perfection; she wanted to achieve that “Christ-consciousness.” Apparently she figured out that people will never be perfect and that there is only one Savior — Jesus Christ.
