The following
are inspiring stories of Iglesia ni Cristo converts from
around the world. Many of these true to life
stories are from many years back but their stories are still
relevant, most particularly, to those who are presently studying the
Iglesia ni Cristo. We hope that by reading
their stories people may come to understand
the workings on "how
God calls people", that is, how God move, draw and
give people the desire to study His words written in the Holy
Bible; and that by these convert stories other people may also be inspired to continue their search for the true Church
of Christ.

Convert Story Highlight |
| "I had been seeking God" |
Elvia M. Garcia |
Maracaibo, Venezuela |
Catholic |
Former Religion:
I had been
seeking God since we were in Venezuela. Back there, we had
classes with a Catholic priest. . .With the Catholic priest, we
studied the Bible like a history book, starting with Genesis,
the first book, and going on until the end. . . . we were using
same Bible that we brought with us from Venezuela, the same one
the Catholic priest recommends us to read,
Iglesia ni
Cristo:
The method used
by Brother San Gabriel was totally different. There was a
subject and he would ask questions and look for the answers in
the Bible. He never gave his own opinion. But what called
my attention more was our study of the Ten Commandments in the
Book of Exodus. It says that God prohibits us to make an idol to
worship; we were using same Bible that we brought with us from
Venezuela, the same one the Catholic priest recommends us to
read, and I was almost shock because I had read it several
times before but I didn't see that prohibition as clearly as
when Brother Gabriel taught us. We continued to learn from the
Bible until we completed the lessons.

| "An answer to
God's call" |
Ricardo M. Vaz |
Sao Paolo, Brazil |
Catholic |
Former
Religion:
We were former Catholics and we used
to follow its traditions without an
understanding of why we belonged to this religion. My
attendance in church functions was nothing more than my attendance
at a wedding or a funeral.
Iglesia ni Cristo:
The teachings of the Christ are based solely on
the Bible. I found the teaching about the nature of God and of
Christ interesting. Other people say they use the same Bible but
they do not see the light as the Church of Christ members do.
They do not share the same understanding we do.. . . . My father, Sinval, my mother
Maria, and
myself became the first fruits of the Church in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
After so many months of attending Bible studies,
we were enlightened and were eventually
baptized on that glorious day of December 9,
2000. After
receiving the holy baptism, I felt awakened to a new
life, a new beginning!
