I was raised as a Roman Catholic but had never read a Bible and didn’t know what Christianity was about. At 13, I began to question things. I didn’t really believe in God. At 14, I became very interested in Russia and its whole culture, researching Eastern Orthodox Christianity. I had a dislike of modern western culture and this is partially how I came to faith. I came to love the idea of Christianity. I still wasn’t saved and didn’t know that I had to be.
Then last year my life changed. I was introduced to Norman Mackay who had lived and worked in Russia. He knew about my obsession with Russian culture, and told me of his experience, and how he became a Christian. It all began to make sense. As I was listening to Norman’s story, something inside me just clicked, like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle had finally been put in place. He told me about how God was working in his life and how his life had changed.
After several one-on-one sessions studying Mark’s Gospel with Norman, I came to faith in Christ, and I thoroughly believed at that point that I was a born-again Christian.
My life couldn’t be better. I thank Jesus so much for his work in my life and his plans for me. I thank him so much for saving me from falling away with the world. I am 16 now and I am growing in Christ as each day goes by. No matter where you are in life, Christ always has a plan for you. You only have one life. Trust in Jesus and you will be saved.
