Salvation Has No Race

Story of Rosea

Saul to Paul

My Life

The Year was 2013

I was living the hight of my career

Yet all was not as it had seemed

I was in a place where I was very alone and depressed

I remember this picture clear as day

This is when in my life I went home after this picture was taken and sat at the side of my bed in absolute fear.

Yet the Facebook Status was having a drink in the Sun.

It wasnt a long drink, it was barely 30mins before everyone at work had families to go home to, or other friends to see. People started making their excuses and heading home

I headed home to my flat in London on my own that night.

I sat at the side of my bed when I got in I think the time was 7:00pm on a Friday evening, and I was scared of being alone.

There was another point I went out again with the people from work

We went to Bristol for the weekend

Two hours after this picture was taken I tried to kill myself.

As you can see here, I was putting on a smily face but I was messed up inside.

Three weeks later a friend invited me to Church

This is essentially what I walked into.

I remember clear as day I walked into the church asking where the church building was

There was a girl at the front door and she stated to me, that the church was the people not a building or an establishment.

All were accepted here is the first thing I thought of when I sat down.

I accepted Jesus in this Journey and all things started to Change

Going to church opened up my eyes to many things

One of them was injustice

Injustice against women being trafficked all over the world.

Do you know there are women trafficked than drugs moving around the world?

I and many of my friends went out into london one Saturday and protested for womens rights and to stop trafficking.

Before Jesus I didnt know this was even a thing.

Infact if im completly honest I didnt care about anything else but myself.

Yet here I was marching through the streets of London Starting at westminster and finishing in West London. In west bromptom to be precise protesting for women where their lives were worst than mine.

Life for me though had varstly improved.

I had come to realise at this church and in this life with Jesus, there is no race no discrimination.

Being part of this church made see the Gospel of Jesus for who he is

Loving no matter who you are or what you do in your life all are accepted in Jesus

This was a picture that soon followed afterwards, I was out having fun with friends from this church life all believing in Jesus.

I remember the night this picture was taken and thinking of how happy I was as a person now.

My identity was restored my life was completly different. I am not the same person as I was in the beginning

My life had been changed from the gospel news.

This picture here shows how much healther I had got.

How happy I was.

I started to then prepare for the trip of a lifetime going to Australia to study at a bible college!!!

Two Years after accepting Jesus

I did a bike ride from London to Brighton 80Miles on a Bike

Never had I dreamed of doing anything like this in my life

I rode from London Canada Water to Brighton Sea Front

With another group of friends from this church that I had been going to

All believing in Jesus and just going for life 100%

Just before I left for college I met my now Wife Sarah

Can you believe it a Guy that two years prior was tring to end his life

Was standing here meeting the Girl of his dreams

Why because he had found Salvation and a new life in Christ Jesus

A guy that previously was so hurt from women

So hurt from life

Had majour trust issues

Now whole and new meeting his future wife.

Now here is a miracle my Life is a testimony to God.

Just like Paul I had an encounter with Christ Jesus that would change my life

Make me into a new person

He can do the same with you and your life

Salvation has no race

I had many friends at that church a lot of them from all different backgrounds and race

All in one thing in common the love of Jesus

Didnt matter who you were or where you came from we all loved being with one another and doing life together.

The thing is Salvation has no Race

Everyone is accepted all are equal no matter who you are

All are loved and love one another.

Thats the message of Jesus the Gospel

No matter who you are Jesus loves you

He wants to do life with you.

He can turn your life around just like mine

He can restore, remove and revive you

Give you the best life that you could ever have imagined or dreamed off.
