I’m Alexander Gez, 33 years old. My testimony follows: I arrived at a situation in my life when in my heart, I screamed out to God: «Lord! Where am I? What am I doing here in this dark, deserted house with a candle on the table in the middle of the bustling city? Why am I here? Why did You create me? Why am I not dead already as a result of a stroke, in the hospital? I feel very bad and it is impossible to live! Help me!» Now, in retrospect, I realize that this was a crucial and important moment in my life, i.e. The moment of my true repentance to the Lord! I wasn’t a believer then, but I’d heard about God. Perhaps my soul was simply seeking protection. Then after a series of different events, I found myself in a «Living Israel» rehabilitation center. I was baptized and shortly thereafter began to serve my Savior Jesus Christ. After rehabilitation, I continued serving in Rehab center to guys just as I had before. Whoever came to us looking for help and God’s peace were made welcome.
Sadly I remember, that before that unforgettable night of repentance, I thought that my worthless, unwanted life was already over. I simply didn’t want to continue living. In fact, after my family life collapsed, I didn’t even have any contact with my relatives. I used all kinds of drugs and drank alcohol. I didn’t believe that I could be healed or live a normal life.
Now I am saved by Christ, He is my Salvation, and takes first place in my life. This is my testimony of how I came to know Him. Praise God!
