Testimony - Patrik Szanati

I was disappointed in the whole world

I was born in 1978 in Sopron. I come from an intellectual family, I received an average, decent upbringing. When I was 14, I was disappointed in the whole world. As an escape, I turned to alcohol and drugs. I always planned to change one day, but it didn't work out.

A few years later I met Christian people in whom I saw the glory of God for the first time. I saw that they were happy because they had someone with them. They radiated God, and I realized that I, too, needed Him so much. After a long, years-long fight, I admitted to myself what I always knew deep in my heart: I miss him and long to get to know him. If Christ really lives, then forgive all my sins, I want to start my life again - with a clean slate. I cried out to him in prayer and he heard me and answered me and came close to me. Meeting him broke my heart, and since then I feel like I can't live without him.

I seek Him every day and have dedicated my life to serving Him and people. God blessed me with a wonderful wife, three beautiful children, and he still carries them in the palm of his hand every day. I wish that you too get to know Him and that He becomes your God and Savior!
