I wasnt taught a faith when growing up the few RE lessons I attended at school often ended with me being asked to leave the class. I had an interest in supernatural things which were triggered by some experiences I couldnt explain naturally. At the age of 15 I started studying some of the more common worlds religions and spiritual paths, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jewish Kabbalah, witchcraft. I became interested in the supernatural side so obvious in these religions and would spend hours using techniques to go deeper in. I studied these religions and there paths for over 22 years and then something happened in my life that caused me to pause and reflect I was going through a personal crisis that I wont go into detail about but I came to the end of myself and all my studies practices and meditations couldnt help me. I had no peace not even in my sleep and seriously considered ending my life .I shared this with a friend who introduced me to a friend who was a nurse who listened to me then told me I needed Jesus and directed me to a local church. I got in my car and drove to the church the service was over but there were 2 men there who listened to me. They shared the Gospel with me the Good News and that  All have Sinned and fallen far short of the Holiness of God and The wages of Sin is death But the gift of God is Eternal Life through The Lord Jesus Christ. They told me that Christ died for Sinners that His death was a substitionary  death that He took the penalty for my sin upon Himself on A cross was buried in a tomb and Rose from the dead on the third day and now Draws men and women to Himself to offer them forgiveness for all their sins peace with God and the gift of Eternal life Eternity with God for all those who trust and Love Him .They told me that The Devil was a real being who had power to manipulate men and women into turning from God and that he had invented many ways to lead people away from God which included false religions and false teaching about God .It wasnt easy for me to hear that but I knew that my practices had brought me to this point of despair, I  listened and my eyes were opened to see I had spent 22 years kidding myself that I was on a path to enlightenment but was really acting like a little god believing I could control my destiny, it became obvious to me listening to these men describing The Gospel of Jesus that all the studies I had done hadnt helped me one bit I was still a self centred man full of my own worth which was an indicator of my pride I was still a sinner I had rebelled against God for all those years and was now experiencing the consequences of it. The men told me that Christ died for Sinners and I knew only to well that I was a sinner. I believed it ,to me it was Good news. I asked God to forgive me that night I surrendered my life willingly to Him and was given The Peace that My soul had searched for I believed on Jesus .For 31 years I have trusted and followed His teaching The Spirit of God has given me Life and the power to live as one of Gods children . Most of my life is taken up with sharing His Good News I can do no less than share His Grace with whoever will listen. Im active in street evangelism and believe if the church dosent take the Gospel out it turns its back on the Great commission and of course  its back on Jesus "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptising them in the name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you. Mathew 28:
