Bottles and bottles of liquor in a bar.

I grew up with many problems and much confusion. Alcohol had been for years my way to escape from the problems, but after the effects of alcohol are gone, the problems are still there.

I grew up with many problems and much confusion…

My name is Juan. My parents are occultists and they introduced me to the world of occultism. As a result, I grew up with many problems and much confusion. Alcohol has been for years my way to escape from the problems, but after the effects of alcohol are gone, the problems are still there.

One day a young lady introduced me to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She shared her testimony with me and gave me a Bible Course. As I read it the Bible and did the study, I felt that God was speaking to me. I invited Him into my heart. Then I decided to attend the nearest church to my home.

Needless to say, my life has changed. I am no longer disoriented. Now I know the way, the truth and the life: Jesus. Thank you to the person who shared Him with me!

— Juan
