Frans is the brother of a married sister in Central Jakarta named Lince. Lince’s husband, Edi, called Jhon, a disciple in the church, and asked Jhon to help his brother-in-law. Edi knew Jhon’s background so he felt that Jhon could relate to Frans.
Frans had a very dark background. His children and wife had left him, and they hated him because he was so harsh on them. He seldom supported his family because he was used to being helped by his sister and parents. And after all, he was a cheater. He had affairs with many women.
Frans was stressed with his life. His children didn’t want to meet him. Brother Jhon started to help by showing how his children felt. Frans began to regularly study the Bible twice a week. He confessed all of his sins. He repented and tried to fix his relationship with his children. He apologized to them. Even though his wife still didn't want to meet him, Frans is waiting faithfully. He has cleared all things related to the women he had affairs with.
Last June, Frans took the decision to be baptized. Lince was so grateful to the point of tears. All his family members had given up on him, but Lince prayed every day so that God could open a way.
God is powerful. Frans has changed. His family can see his life is changed. To God be the glory!
