Seksan had a very unhappy childhood. He was raised in a Buddhist family but his alcoholic and abusive father always beat his mother. When his father left the family, Seksan decided to leave school and go to the city to find work, in order to support his family. In the city, Seksan joined a drug gang and committed several crimes. He was caught and was kept in jail for most of his adult life.

“I thought that I would eventually die in jail so I tried to kill myself,” Seksan recalls. “One day, a prisoner friend of mine gave me a book from Bible League called ‘Who Cares When I Hurt?’ and said it would change my life. So I began to read it.”

“God's Word touched me deeply. I read from Proverbs 28:13 (NIV) where it says, ‘He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.’ I repented of my sins and opened up my heart for God. He forgave my sin and changed me."

This man, who was once considered useless by society, now wants only to love and serve other people. At 38 years of age, Seksan has a new nature—a nature that reflects his Lord. “He changed my life and now I long to serve others like Jesus did,” Seksan says.

Seksan, now made completely new, loves deeply as he has much to be forgiven. He is now a truly blessed man as the Word of God says, “Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.” (Psalm 32:1-2, NIV).
