Benjamin Cruickshanks

After leaving school in Year 10, I spent several years lost and alone. I had drifted apart from my old friends and was too socially anxious to make new ones. On top of that, my sexuality caused me to lose hope for future intimate relationships, which was one of my only motivations in life.

Since I spent so much time online, I learnt a lot about Christianity and God, as well as other people's experiences and testimonies. After a long period of denial and doubt, I finally accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I repented of my sins, started praying, and began reading the Bible, starting with the four Gospels.

I also started going to Church every Sunday and participating in Church events. Since becoming a Christian, my life quickly changed for the better. I am no longer addicted to porn and other things that were harmful to my soul. I have made genuine friends that I look up to and can rely on.

Most of all, I feel as though I now have a purpose and that my life has meaning and value. It has only been a few months since I gave my life to Christ, and he has already blessed me in so many ways.

He is my hope and my truth, and I can't wait to spend eternity with him.
