Testimony of Conversion

In the year 1992, I was going through a strong family crisis, my wife and I had our first daughter, and we urgently needed a home. I spent everything I had in order to buy us an apartment. I told my wife to throw away all the idols that we had acquired (God was already working in me without knowing it). In the midst of my great anguish, I stood on the balcony of our apartment and raised a cry to Heaven. Without knowing the Lord, I asked him to help me because I couldn’t take it anymore.

A few days later my father-in-law invited me to church. I was embarrassed to go in and afraid that my friends would see me. So I went when I knew they could not see me.

While I was there the first time, I laughed at the believers. I thought they looked foolish while they prayed. But then God called my attention to the speaker. I didn’t know that God was speaking to me through this man. One day I went forward and asked God to forgive my sins. When I left the church, I was a different person. I felt a great joy and a desire to return to church. I thank God for the fact that He still puts that feeling in me, even though I was his enemy for so many years. From then on, God has not ceased to sanctify me. To Him be the glory.
