PERM (RUSSIA) - Natalia has always had a successful marriage. She and her husband, an ethnic Tatar, raised three daughters. Natalia is a very caring mother. She recognizes that God has always given her wisdom in building relationship with her kids and husband. Since her childhood Natalia believed in God. Her parents, whom she greatly respected, taught her to revere God according to the Orthodox tradition. Natalia’s father was a solder during World War II, he returned home and despite the injuries he lived until 61 years old. Her mother lived to be 85 years old and always supported and helped her.
Everything seemed to be quite good, but for some reason she didn’t feel peace in her heart. The eldest daughter married a Tatar man and converted to Islam. Her son’s personal life didn’t seem to go well. She thought, maybe God punished her. But for what sins? Prayer of repentance, which was offered by missionaries seemed to be a wayout. Natalia admitted that she never accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior, never asked for forgiveness of her sins. With joy she prayed the salvation prayer and believed that all sins were forgiven, and she became a new creation!
