Sharing stories of Jesus bringing hope & transformation
Stories Are Powerful
Everyone has a story to tell. Some stories are funny; the comical moments in life that we retell amidst fits of laughter. Other stories are sorrowful; memories that cause our hearts to ache and our tears to spill over. Still others will give us goosebumps or open our eyes to new possibilities.
Stories are powerful.
When we hear someone’s story, we walk in their footsteps for a little while. We are given insight into their life and a glimpse into their world. We can be deeply impacted; our hearts stirred and our eyes opened.
We want to help ordinary people from different lands and cultures share their stories of grace and transformation through encounter with Jesus Christ, each in their own language and context, to show how God’s love is bringing reconciliation, hope, joy and peace to those who follow Him.
We hope that these stories will inspire, challenge and encourage people in their own lives.
