Christianity Today is highlighting the top five testimonies of 2015, showing God’s guiding hand in the lives of his people.
The inspirational stories feature Charles Featherstone, who was working across the street from the twin towers the day terrorists crashed two airliners into the structures killing thousands. In his story he tells about how God used the tragedy to save him from his faith in Islam.
Joseph Kim tells of his escape from North Korea and how it would not have been possible without the help of the Christian church in China. Hosting a North Korean refugee is illegal in China but members of the church sheltered him for more than two weeks, making his escape to the West, and his introduction to Christ possible.
Martin Pistorius writes about being trapped in a wheelchair for 12 years as the result of a degenerative neurological disease. He says God spoke to him in those times when he could not even talk and when he couldn’t hear anyone else in their attempts to communicate with him.
Emily Armstrong retells her winding journey to faith that included struggles with the B’hai faith, pornography and alpha. She says a courageous pastor lead her through the quaqmire.
