From Old Leaks to New Life
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
The church is built upon Christ as its foundation; it is to obey Christ as its head. It is not to depend upon man, or be controlled by man.
“I was filled with sin, lots of regrets, and was very lost in life. I looked happy, but I wasn’t.”
That’s how 29-year-old JuliAnna describes her life as a young adult living in a camper trailer that was prone to leaking when it rained. Raised in a single-parent home, she didn’t have a father figure and her mother was constantly working—she never felt like she belonged; a sense of loneliness haunted her.
So, while she grew up Christian, she soon wandered away from the faith and became a bartender. To fill that void of loneliness, she turned to worldly relationships. Eventually she had two kids with a boyfriend, but the relationship, rocked by drugs and alcohol use, was anything but fulfilling.
Then, unemployment hit. It seemed as though living in that leaky trailer was a metaphor for JuliAnna’s life. The more she tried to pursue a better life through worldly pleasures, the more her happiness seemed to leak away. She recalls, “I was always in constant battles, chaos, and confusion, not just on the inside, but the outside too. I didn’t understand why.”
Dissatisfied with her living conditions, JuliAnna soon left her boyfriend and that trailer with her two kids—only to move in with a drug addict, a move that would result in great loss! It’s no surprise that genuine happiness continued to elude her, and that void of loneliness remained. She knew she had to find something that would lead her to a better life.
That’s when JuliAnna began searching for the bigger picture, hunting for an online Bible study that could fill that void. From the literally millions of options, only one resonated with her—the Amazing Facts online Bible School. And it had been very easy to find too … thanks to you.
JuliAnna loved the beautiful scriptures, facts, and illustrations in the lessons. “I was also captured by how much God and Jesus really loved me—and it was the truth.” And the more she understood and embraced what God’s Word said about right living, the more her life began to change. She moved into an apartment, but most important, she found a solid church family, where she’s now a greeter and worship coordinator.
Good things continued to happen: JuliAnna found a new job, and she married a fellow believer. Now, the couple are buying their first home. That Christ-less void in her heart was filled because you provided the life-changing resources that touched her heart!
And it’s made a world of difference. Today, JuliAnna says, “I’m different in so many ways.” She’s not only financially stable and living a healthy lifestyle, but she’s also “kinder, a better friend, and more caring.” She declares, “I’m very grateful for Pastor Doug and Amazing Facts. Everything you teach is so relatable!”
