Second Life just had its second weekend of video experiences, and already God has used this tool to change lives. Troy found LifeChurch.tv in Second Life and God found Troy right where he was. Troy shares his story with us.
Troy’s Story:
- hello everyone i’d like to tell you a short version of my story so maybe you can pass this along to help others who may be in a situation like mine: im 41 years old, i’ve been stuck in my parents basement for 6 years, i basically lost myself after choosing to leave my family, because of lots of mental issues so i imprisoned myself and let myself basically give up..i’ve faced some hardships with my mental and physical health including a heart attack at the age of 39.
Ok ,so enough of my woes, i just wanted to tell you all how i got here. Last Sun. after a small argument with a friend i felt bad and was walking along (virtually mind you in second life) and saw an Ad sign for lifechurch, i clicked on it and landed on this beautiful island. i looked around and found the mysecret area and sat down and watched the vids i was moved to say the least in my tears.After watching and praying with craig i raised my hands confessed my sins and gave myself to jesus for the first time in my life…. what a wonderfull feeling to be free of my sins, to find out how to get rid of my bitterness, most of my fears, to understand how i’ve been holding all these dark crazy things inside me for so long and now learning how to follow the path god has for me, to give myself to jesus..what a wonderfull group of pastors you all have, with craig at the helm, each of you inspire me, move me, make me feel where you came from and I now thank you so much, i look forward to learning everything i can from you all. thank you and god bless you…troy.

Oh Man Troy (Moose). That is sooo awesome! I am so glad you are in the family of Christ. God has great things in store for you!
Love ya buddy. See ya on SL!
Vrengnia from sl! /me waves to the Moose dude!!! God bless you man and thank God that He is using SL.
I came here and found it to be a place of all sorts of different things, mostly not good. A church search a few months ago only led to satanic stuff so I was thrilled to find LC in SL on Easter Sunday of all things!!! Brandon rocks out loud and every night I enjoy fun and fellowship in the lobby with my brothers and sisters. Also it’s always fun when the God haters wonder in lol. xoxoxo everyone and God bless!!
YEAAAAAAAAAAA Moose!! I didn’t know your story. I’m so glad Jesus brought you to us!!
See you in SL.
