Radu.
I did not know that God exists. In my childhood I heard that I should fear Him and I memorized The Lords Prayer. My great-grandfather taught me, but what made me seek God was the fact that I was sick. My mother was going to diferent women, who were pretending that they could heal me but she didnt manage to see my health improving. I undestood that these ladies were lying. At that time the communist regime was destroyed and people were seeking something spiritual. I wasnt such a person until the moment, when an orthodox priest told me that I can find healing in church. Coming to the church, I started to believe that God exists and I was able to get more knowledge the more I wished to get to know Him. My grandmother became a Christian at that time and she told me that we get salvation through faith, not through good deeds. One day I went with her to a christian meeting. There I understood that I am a sinner and only through faith in Christs sacrifice I am saved. Two more years went until I decided to get peace with God and I have not been sick anymore for many years. But through my disease God made me seek Him.
A few weeks after my decision I understood that God wanted me to tell others about Christ. This wish became a reality when I met a Campus Crusade for Christ staff worker who taught me how to share Christ among my colleagues at the university. After my graduation I decided to be a part of Campus Crusade and help people know God personally.

I was born in a family where people never spoke about God. More than that, my father was atheist. But somewhere deep inside, I felt that there is something more than this material world. Ever since I was a child, I liked to read. I heard about the old book, called the Bible and I was wishing a lot to get a chance to read it. When I was a teenager, I got a new Testament. I knew that is a part of the Bible, and I started reading it attentively. Many things I was reading werent clear for me, but I had an assurance that all that is writen there is true. God used events in my life in such a way, that I started to believe that He exists. When I was 18 years old, I believed that Jesus Christ died for my sins and I entrusted Him my life. After that I began to hate the sin in my heart.
I was dreaming to do something unusual in this world and now I am sharing my faith with other people and telling them about what God gave us through Jesus. When I was student I met a staff from Campus Crusade for Christ (New Life Moldova). I liked the goal of their life to help people come to Christ and teach them to follow Him. And like them, I decided to invest my life helping people to know God and His plan of salvation, I enjoy sharing the Gospel, because through this I praise my Lord. It was my dream to be happy and I can tell you that Im definitely happy that I can spend my life this way. God revealed to me the meaning of life and gave me the faith and hope and the most important thing, He filled my heart with love.
