| WHEN I WAS A CHILD, my father taught me how to drive. Recalling that time with my dad in his car has always been a special memory for me. Since then, my car has felt more like "home" than any home I lived in. Soon afterwards my dad left us. My father provided a legacy of leaving and I became just like him. Through the years, I left all my girlfriends and then my wives.
I work as a driver, so in many respects my car is my home. It's also where I first heard FEBC radio. FEBC was the only station that had engaging conversation. The only thing is, I didn’t like Jesus' name being mentioned all the time. "Jesus this, Jesus that..." I thought Jesus was a weakling, a victim. But for some reason I continued to listen to the program.
Two weeks later I broke down. I realized that no one in the world needed me. Sitting in my car, I decided to pray to Jesus. I can’t even tell you what happened as I prayed, because it’s so intimate, precious, and personal, but it was powerful. I knew I had to share this love and forgiveness I had been given by Jesus, so I came home. Those are simple words, "came home," but for me it was the first time I really felt the warmth of what a home is. God gave me back my family; my children believed that I would eventually return, and because of FEBC I did! God has also given me a second family -- a family of Christians who support me and are related to me through the blood of Jesus Christ. - Igor, FEBC Russia listener
