New believer #1

The person who was interviewed is a new convert and is from a different country. They spoke in broken English mostly but I was encouraged by how quickly whole-hearted devotion seem to come to him. He is sold out for the Lord.

1.Tell me about your journey to faith in Christ?In my life I always knew that there was someone in the sky that looked down at us. I believed that there was a God but I never lived for Him. I used to be addicted to drugs such as marijuana and I used them constantly. Alcohol was normal and on occasion I would even do ecstasy. I met some Christians through the organization Christ is the Answer mission organization. They started to tell me about Jesus and I came to accept him as my savior. When I did this I cried for a week straight because of the joy that I had from being saved.
2. What helped you the most to step over the line and make the commitment?For me the Holy Spirit really touched me as I sought God in my own prayer time. I also experienced this when I had Christians praying for me.
3. What has been the best part of becoming a Christ follower for you?Since coming to Christ I have been set free from drugs and alcohol. I have such a huge amount of joy in my life. Before I became a Christians I did bad things and really dangerous things. But once I came to know Jesus I had no more fear and felt completelysecure, it was truly amazing.
4. What has been the most challenging part of following Christ?Having issues with temptation for girls and smoking marijuana.
5. What do you think is helping you grow the most in your faith?Seeing the examples of the Christians around me was the most important thing to help my faith grow.
6. What advice do you have for me in helping others like you to grow in their faith?Put in their mind, God's love and show them the brotherly love as Christians. Also pray ourselves for them and tell them to pray for themselves. They have to understand when they follow God they will be saved in this life but especially in the next life.
7. What's your deepest desire when it comes to your relationship with Jesus? I found out that my mother had a tumor two weeks before I got saved. She is still going through treatment now but my deepest desire is to see her fully healed. So far her treatment is going perfect and this is a great blessing to me.
