[Story Title] "Now I feel God in my life" [Name] Gregor Stuckert [Locale] Erlenbach, Germany [Former Religion] Catholic [Convert Story Highlight] 
Former Religion: Since childhood, my mother would accompany my brother and sisters and me to attend the Catholic Mass on Sundays. . . . At the age of 12, I told my mother that I would no longer attend church services as I could not feel anything by doing so—I could not feel God. . . . She asked me to go on attending if only for her sake. I agreed but I attended only twice a year and this was during Christmas and Good Friday of the Holy Week. . . . At that young age I already had a lot of questions about so many things concerning my religion. I asked myself why I was baptized as a baby when I could not yet answer for myself. Another big question in my mind was on the doctrine of celibacy. I could not understand why the priests were not allowed to marry when they have all the right to do so. I asked myself why. Iglesia ni Cristo: My first attendance in the Iglesia ni Cristp worship service was at Frankfurt Locale sometime in February of 1989. Many things attracted my attention—how the deacons and deaconesses were formally dressed, the seating arrangement that separated the men from the women, and the solemn atmosphere. I sat down and observed for a while until I, like the others, closed my eyes and prayed. At that moment, I felt something that I have never felt before. It was an overwhelming feeling that I could not describe. . . . When the minister started to preach, some of the questions that have lingered in my mind since age 12 were answered one by one. After having attended the worship service, I felt I needed to know more about this Church. There was also this invisible force that seemed like a hand guiding me to attend again and again. For the first time in my life, I found what I was looking for—a peaceful relationship with God. Convert Story-37 Click here to read full story
