The gift of hope for Marina!

Marina was growing up in Central Asia, in a region where open discussions about faith were rare. (We can’t tell you exactly where, for security reasons.)

She had always felt a void in her life and harbored countless questions about life’s purpose and her own worth. 

As a Russian-speaking teenager, she was curious when she saw our What If It’s True? online program in Russian! The topics she encountered spoke directly to her heart. 

Intrigued and hopeful, she reached out to an online missionary, her fingers trembling as she typed her deepest questions: How could Jesus overcome my failures? Was eternal life with Him truly possible?

The missionary’s words resonated deeply with Marina. As she discovered Jesus’ words, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6, NIV), the Scripture stirred her soul and illuminated a path she had never seen before.

In that moment, Marina made a decision that would alter the course of her life. With tears in her eyes and hope in her heart, she chose to follow Jesus, giving her life to Christ. As she prayed with her new missionary friend, Marina felt a profound transformation — her burdens lifted, replaced by an indescribable peace and joy.
