Testimony | December 2024| Ivanovka School
My name is Arthur, I am a 7th grade student at the school “Hope” in Ivanovka village. I have heard about Jesus many times at school, but I have never come into close relationship with Him.
In 2022 our school had a summer camp, which was organized by our spiritual coordinators. I really enjoyed the camp and learned more about Jesus. On the last day there was a special meeting and there was a call for those who want to be made reconciled with God. I was one of those people who raised hand. That's how I met Jesus for the first time, it was an unforgettable special feeling in my heart.
Now I attend a local Christian church, I love reading the Bible and learning more about Jesus. At the Church, I help tune the sound equipment, and I help serve tables for the guests to eat. I have changed a lot since that time. I stopped swearing and hitting my sister and friends.
My parents also see the change in me, and they are happy about it. That's reason why they let me go to church. My friends have also noticed that I've changed. I don't want to be the same anymore, and I don't want to be like them anymore.
Jesus has changed my life and I want to be like Him now.
