How I came to know Jesus – Lionel Windsor

October 5, 2021October 6, 2021 by Lionel Windsor

I grew up in the rural-urban fringe of Sydney, in an atheist family. But I had the great privilege to hear about God through SRE Scripture teachers. These wonderful people from local churches came into our primary school each week to teach us from…

How I came to know Jesus – Mike Leite

September 30, 2021September 30, 2021 by Mike Leite

The story of God’s grace and mercy in bringing me to faith in Jesus is very ordinary. Ordinary in the sense that mine is not a spectacular conversion story. God used ordinary means. He used ordinary people. And thus, mine is an ordinary story. And…

How I came to know Jesus – Kirsten McKinlay

September 14, 2021September 14, 2021 by Kirsten McKinlay

How would you describe your life before you knew Jesus? My wonderful mum took me to church as a child – perhaps, she might say now, out of a sense of it being the right thing to do, since I had been baptised as a baby. I don’t think she expected church…
