A Path for the Blind
When I was 12 years old, an explosion blinded me in both eyes and I received a burn on the face. After the rehabilitative period, I began to search for the meaning of life and for consolation. I started drinking, smoking, and looking for hope in the wrong things.
Soon, I fell into the criminal community and life went downhill. Many times heard about Christ, but rejected Him because I considered myself a Muslim.
When I was 18 years old, I met a man who told me about Christ. Once again I refused to listen to him, but I took his number.
After some time, I stabbed a man with a knife and then I realized my helplessness. That day, I asked God to let the man survive and God heard me.
Two days later, I called the man who told me about Jesus and met with him. I repented and committed myself to Christ. The very next day God delivered me from everything. I stopped drinking, smoking, and using drugs. My whole life from that point was for Jesus.
I began attending a local church, met a girl, married her, had two children, and now I have a grandson and a granddaughter, all thanks to God.
I am now a minister of a Central Asian church. Currently, we have groups inside and outside of our city, with a total of about 20 people. We also work with other churches and people, who help us meet needs, travel, and serve our community. Most of the people we serve are poor, but because of Jesus, we can give them eternal riches!
