LIVES CHANGED
WI LL IAM’ S STORY William tried to take his life when he was just 12 years old. He was so angry at life and felt all alone. In God’s providence, his grandmother walked in just as he was preparing the rope – and he was stopped.
From that time on, William says he would pray to God, but his heart was restless. He didn’t know what happiness was – and he tried to find it in all kinds of worldly things.
Everything changed when William was invited to come to Word of Life summer camp. His way was paid through the generous help of friends who gave to a camp scholarship fund!
At camp, William was surrounded by hundreds of smiling, joyful kids who had Christ in their hearts. He was intrigued and a little jealous – he wanted whatever it was these kids had. Of course, at Word of Life, William heard the Gospel and by the Thursday evening of camp, he asked Jesus to be his Savior.
FERNANDO ’ S STORY Fernando, a young man from Argentina, began hanging out with the wrong friends in his neighborhood and began smoking marijuana at the age of 12. He soon became addicted and quickly moved to injecting himself daily with drugs for the next 11 years. When he learned he had contracted AIDS, he became depressed. His life was totally lost and without purpose until a friend shared the Gospel with him. Fernando trusted Christ, and his life was changed as he attended a Word of Life Camp and learned how to grow in his new-found faith.
