Son*, a man in Southeast Asia, came to know Christ at the funeral of a Christian acquaintance. He was a lifelong alcoholic and, during the funeral service, a pastor shared a Bible verse that touched Son’s heart. Afterward, he spoke to the pastor, who explained the gospel to him and promised God could free him from his addiction. Son gave his heart to Christ right then, and he hasn’t had any alcohol since.
During the following two weeks, Son won his whole family to Christ. They became a ten-person house church, meeting together each week. Son plans to attend an ICR-Canada sponsored training for Christian leaders that will teach him more about the Christian faith and help him lead this new church well.
