Bonnie Sala: Hanna was scrolling on her phone one afternoon. A post appeared that caught her attention. She didn't know then that it would change her life. I'm Bonnie Sala with Reset. Here's Hanna's story in her own words.

Hanna: I became a Christian a few years ago, and my life began to take a completely different direction. I grew up in a broken family. My father was an alcoholic, my mother found comfort in white magic, and we struggled economically. Because of my family's reputation, I also experienced rejection from my friends.

One day, a post from an online Christian radio station appeared on my social media feed. I began to listen and I couldn't stop. I discovered a Guidelines devotional, which gave me spiritual and practical advice and a whole new perspective on faith and relationships.

Bonnie Sala: Hanna began texting the radio station, having conversations with the staff. They invited her to visit a Christian church. She'd never been to one before. Christian churches are few in her country. At that church, Hanna experienced something she'd rarely known in her life—the love of others.

The Bible calls followers of Jesus to be devoted to one another in love, and that's exactly how that group of believers treated Hanna.

Hanna: I became part of a Christian community where I experienced God's love and the love of people for the first time in my life. Deciding to follow Jesus came at a cost. My family will not take me back because of my decision to follow Jesus, but the leaders and believers have been taking care of me ever since.
