Ukraine: "Fruits of an Evangelist"
“When I got married in 1988, I was very young. I thought my husband loved me, but it didn’t take long for him to start regularly abusing me. I became very depressed, and I didn’t want to live anymore. One day I couldn’t handle my situation anymore. I decided I would kill myself because I believed no one in my family loved me. That morning, I told my husband that I didn’t want to live and that I would not be returning home anymore. I told him that I planned to commit suicide. My husband very coldly answered, “Do whatever you want to yourself”, I left our home and thought I would never return.
After walking for some time, I passed by a church building where they were holding a church service. I heard the voice of the preacher. This voice pulled me like a magnet toward the church. When I walked in and sat in the back on a chair, I heard the voice, saying, ‘If no one loves you, not your parents, nor your husband, I want to introduce you to someone who died for you and loves you very much. His name is Jesus Christ. All you need to do is make a decision to invite Him into your heart. I immediately began sobbing. I had never cried like that before. I didn’t wait until the preacher finished his message before I ran in front of all the people in the church and fell to my knees, repenting and asking the Lord to come into my heart. I returned home with joy and happiness. After some time, my transformation opened my husband up to the Gospel and he gave his life to Christ as well. Today I have a wonderful life with my husband and our daughter. I want to thank the preacher for that Gospel service, in which I responded to Jesus.”
This preacher’s name is Slavik Radchuk and he’s an Evangelist from Ukraine whose Gospel crusades GCP is currently helping fund! By supporting GCP, this is the kind of impact that you would be having on the lives of unreached people all over the world.
