Russia: Salvation and Reconciliation

"My name is Sergei, I am 46. I was born in the village. After school I began to work. Then [I joined the] army. My life was as I planned-family, two sons, a good job. But after some time the state I lived in stopped to exist. All [that] I had decayed. I lost my job [and] as a result began to drink. Finally I lost my family. They did not let me into [the] house because I stole things. [Five years later,] I met a friend who told me about Jesus. He invited me to his church [and] to the Christian social center. I wanted to get out of this swamp. On the third day they showed [the] 'JESUS' film. Watching [it] I began to understand that Jesus makes [us] free from vices. I repented [of] my sins [and] since that time my life [has] changed. I restored relationships with my sons [and] got a new job. Jesus Christ is my light now. I study [the] Bible every day. Recently I went through Four Spiritual Laws evangelism training. I tell people that God may change their lives as He changed mine."
