An hourglass

After her death I became a drunkard and I lost everything. Constantly on my mind was the question, ​“If I die, where will I go?” I knew that one day I must face death like my wife. I did not have an answer to the question.

I knew that one day I must face death like my wife…

My wife passed away 10 years ago. She was a Christian, and I was a Buddhist. After her death I became a drunkard and I lost everything. Constantly on my mind was the question, ​“If I die, where will I go?” I knew that one day I must face death like my wife. I did not have an answer to the question.

One day, a woman came to my house and gave me a Gospel tract. I asked about Jesus and she told me about God’s salvation of God. She also gave me a lesson book. After I finished the Bible course, I decided to follow Jesus. Since my conversion I witness about Jesus Christ wherever I go. Please pray for my family members that they too will be saved.
