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.
