Pornography,
sports, and drinking, were the focus of his life...
Guilt permeated his experience and was ruining his marriage, but
Kevin and his wife Cathy knew there must be something more to life.
Then their curiosity was aroused as they watched the Power to Change
commercials on TV.
Seeing Paul
Henderson and Catriona LeMay Doan speak of God's impact in their
lives got their attention, but Kevin and Cathy were skeptical.
The commercials seemed upbeat and full of good news, but what
was this really about and who was behind it? Rather than calling
the number on the screen, they decided to go to the Internet site
and check it out. This seemed the least threatening and as Kevin
described it later, "One's faith is a very personal, very
delicate thing." Their first visit to the site was about
an hour long. They had finally found a clearly presented message
of truth with the promise of help that they felt badly in need
of -- help to change their ways.
Kevin recognized
his need and prayed to receive Christ,
indicating his decision online, and asking for further contact.
His request for follow-up was passed through to a church right
in their local community and very soon a person from the church
gave them a call. Kevin and Cathy invited him to their house where
he arrived half an hour later with a Power to Change CD and booklet
in hand. They had a long discussion, and that weekend, together,
Kevin and Cathy began attending the church where they have recently
been baptized, and where their two young children have been dedicated
to the Lord!
Kevin is a
changed man. He is a changed father and a renewed husband! He
now has a new focus on the Lord and on strengthening his family,
rather than on the things of the world that used to grip his life.
Cathy had
been silent, desperately hoping, and praying
doing anything
she felt might help bring their family back together. When she
saw the incredible change in Kevin's life and in their marriage,
she too committed her life to Christ! Now they are busy sharing
the Power to Change with others, and encouraging them to visit
www.powertochange.com.
