**Beaten, abused and left for dead, Karen lost almost everything. But in a hospital intensive care unit, a simple prayer changed her life forever.**

Born into a home marked by alcoholism, dysfunction and violence, Karen endured years of physical and emotional abuse. Even after leaving home at nineteen, she found herself trapped in another abusive relationship, suffering humiliation, violence and unimaginable pain.

Eventually, Karen descended into alcoholism herself. On 13 July 2019, she regained consciousness in intensive care at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI).

She had lost her children, her job and her home — and was facing the possibility of losing her arm.

**At her lowest point, Karen began repeating the Lord's Prayer.**

As she prayed, something extraordinary happened. The peace of Jesus Christ washed over her, and her life would never be the same.

After leaving hospital, Karen bought a Bible and asked God to help her understand both His Word and everything she had experienced. She opened it at John 15:18–25, a passage that profoundly changed her understanding of her past.

Through her newfound faith in Jesus, Karen found the strength to forgive those who had hurt her most and begin a completely new life.

Today, Karen shares the Good News of Jesus Christ in prisons, hospitals, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres, and domestic abuse centres.

**Her message is one of hope: no matter how broken you are, how far you have fallen, or how much you have lost, there is a way home through Jesus Christ.**

Join us for this remarkable testimony of forgiveness, restoration and the transforming power of God.

Beaten, Broken & Left for Dead – Then Jesus Changed Everything | Karen's Story

**From teenage crime, alcoholism and a suicide attempt to an extraordinary life dedicated to rescuing vulnerable children — Duncan Dyason MBE's story is a powerful testimony of God's transforming love.**

Born in Canterbury, UK in 1960, Duncan's unsettled childhood led him down a destructive path. As a teenager, he became involved in crime, began drinking heavily and eventually reached such a point of despair that he attempted to take his own life.

But at the age of 21, Duncan cried out to God — and everything changed.

After becoming a Christian, he discovered a calling to help children and young people facing the same struggles he had experienced.

His faith would take him on an extraordinary journey, from smuggling Bibles and medical supplies into communist Poland to the dangerous streets of Guatemala City.

In 1992, Duncan and his wife Jenni moved to Guatemala, where thousands of children were living on the streets, exposed to violence, gangs and exploitation.

Despite death threats and heartbreaking experiences, Duncan refused to give up.

He founded The Toybox Charity and later Street Kids Direct, dedicating his life to helping vulnerable children escape the dangers of street life and discover hope for their future.

His work has included developing mentoring programmes to prevent children from ending up on the streets, with projects extending into Honduras.

In 2017, Duncan was awarded an MBE in recognition of his extraordinary work with street children in Guatemala.

**But behind the awards and achievements lies something even more remarkable — the story of a man whose life was transformed when he cried out to Jesus Christ.**

Join us on Life Stories Worldwide as Duncan shares his journey of faith, courage, miracles and God's faithfulness.

From Crime & Despair to Saving Street Children | Duncan Dyason MBE

What happens when a nightclub DJ encounters Jesus Christ and discovers a completely new purpose for his life?

Chris Cole's remarkable journey took him from the world of nightclubs and entertainment to becoming one of the pioneers of Christian broadcasting in the United Kingdom.

Born in London and raised across Britain, Canada and the United States, Chris eventually moved to Belgium, where he worked in recruitment, became a DJ and ran a nightclub.

But his life took a dramatic turn when he encountered Jesus Christ through the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship.

Returning to Plymouth, Chris met and married Kerry, and together they embarked on an extraordinary journey of faith, family, business and Christian ministry.

Following a prophetic calling to reach people through the media, Chris and Kerry founded Cross Rhythms in 1983, helping to pioneer Christian radio and contemporary Christian music in Britain.

Over the years, Chris has been involved in United Christian Broadcasters (UCB), GOD TV, the Christian Broadcasting Council and numerous other Christian initiatives.

Yet behind the achievements lies a deeply personal story of trusting God through life's challenges, learning to surrender to His purposes and discovering the faithfulness of a loving Heavenly Father.

Chris and Kerry's journey is also told in their book Gotta Die to Live.

Join us on Life Stories Worldwide as we hear Chris's inspiring story of faith and discover how God can take an ordinary life and use it for an extraordinary purpose.
