Exciting Stories

This evening I heard exciting stories from two guys who have moved to Edinburgh in the last few years. One guy, called Dave, works in the city centre in a high-flying IT job.

Dave's work provided him with all his material needs - but despite working on some of the most famous computer games in the world he was still dissatisfied. He needed something to believe in - a foundation for his life.

Recently Dave attended an Alpha Course and shortly afterwards he realised that he had found something to believe in - or to be more precise - someone to believe in.

We also heard from John, who came to Edinburgh from China to study Computer Science four years ago. He attended various church events in the city in a search for friendship and social contacts. One of his church friends seemed special and when John was invited to an Alpha Course he decided to go along. A few weeks afterwards John realised that he had found a new life. Now instead of attending church occasionally for social reasons he gets involved in everything that's going on.

Two guys whose lives have been completely transformed through meeting with Jesus Christ. It makes me excited to be in the family of God!
