I had to write my testimony as part of my Discipleship Dynamics training about 30 years ago.

I had to keep it down to 1 page.

One night, in 2009, while out with friends, I got so intoxicated with alcohol that I passed out while walking, fell and hit my head, causing me to have a Grade 3 concussion.

Nothing like a hard reset for changing one's attitude and point of view.

Luckily for him it just took that one shot instead of making fate come back and repeat the message.

Never is Christ highlighted in these stories you are posting. It is always a church.

I sincerely hope this man left a cult to entrust himself to Christ alone for salvation - regardless of which church he attends to worship at.

No doubt, we all wish salvation through Christ to this man who has suffered so much.

I liked this paragraph from his story.

As I began to read this book, it was as if there was something inside of me beginning to sew up that empty space. The words turned into pictures, and pictures turned into feelings, and feelings turned into faith. Learning of this capital ‘T’ Tradition of the Church and the apostolic succession just completely overwhelmed me. I was drawn to learn more! I expressed to Sherri the desire to attend church with her because of what I was reading. I know just how happy she was for this! As I began to go to and observe the Mass, an indescribable feeling began to take hold of me. That empty feeling; that hollow hole began to be filled. Realization set in that, every single time I was at Mass, I was in the presence of something so much higher than me yet could feel the yearning for His want for me to be closer. There was no other place I would rather be!

From one false religion to another...the blind leading the blind. Very sad.

I hope he studies the Bible and learns the gospel someday, so that he can become a disciple of Christ.

In 2005, I find myself inside a Catholic church for midnight mass. My future wife, born and raised in the Catholic Church, by my side; silently showing me something that I never thought I’d see or feel. At the age of 31, a realization set in that I never would have expected to occur – thus begins another part of my journey to the Church, my home.

Welcome home indeed.

From a Jehovah Witness to the Roman Catholic Church. Makes sense.

Catholics and Jehova’s witnesses are equally lost; some journey!

Traveling in descending circles for eternity.
