Elaine's story


My sister-in-law is a Christian and she lent me lots of books about other people’s faith. One in particular was called “Turned on to Jesus” by Arthur Blessett, an American evangelist. Through reading, I began to search for God and question who he is.


After a few wrong turns, I discovered that the key to people’s experience was Jesus. Then someone gave me a true to life sized nail that would have been put in Jesus' hands and feet - I got real about the fact that Jesus did actually die for me and became overwhelmed by how much I mattered to him. I decided to follow Jesus. Since then, I became sure of who I was and what my purpose is.
