In this series
Christians have been sharing conversion stories for 2,000 years, ever since Saul of Tarsus—a brutal persecutor of the first followers of Christ—miraculously became a follower himself (Acts 9:1–31). The Christianity Today team is honored to share current-day stories of transformation. It is our prayer that these testimonies encourage you and strengthen you in your faith.
