Lives Changed by God’s Word
Real Testimonies Of Lives Changed By The Gospel
The Gospel changes lives, as seen in the stories of people who were transformed after receiving a copy of God's Word. Here are a few real-life examples.
Chelly Viswasam grew up in a strict, Orthodox home but everything began to change when she returned to school from summer break. Her teacher had transformed—and the difference started with a Testament from The Gideons. That simple moment sparked a spiritual journey that would reshape Chelly’s entire life.
Chelly Viswasam
As a young adult, Ryan was thriving in his career, experiencing every comfort and worldly pleasure, but he was decaying within. Following a drug overdose, he found a Gideon-placed Bible in his hotel room. During his flight home back home to Los Angeles, he read it intently. When he landed, he was changed.
Ryan Ries
Vova grew up in a typical Soviet home. His teenage years were filled with many questions as he later grew interested in existentialist writings that opened his mind to questions about the meaning of life. At just the right time, he encountered a Testament that would change his worldview in ways he never expected.
