If you have read the preceding Can I know God? pages then you may have decided to entrust you life to Jesus in the words of the suggested prayer, or with your own prayer.

If you have taken that very simple but massive step we want to say:

We are delighted and thrilled for you, welcome into God's family, and the adventure starts here!...

Can we ask you to do 4 things:

• Send us an e-mail to let us know about your new faith. We would like to pray for you and send you some useful information.

• Find some other true Christians – people who know and love Jesus who can help and encourage you as you start out on the Christian life. You have the gift of prayer, so try asking God to help you find those right people!

• Get a Bible or New Testament and start reading John's Gospel. (If you do not have a Bible they are available on the Internet)

• Look for changes in your life over the next days and weeks. Sometimes coming to Jesus can be a great emotional experience, for others the emotional aspect is much less dramatic. However, the really important sign that God is at work in your life are those changes for the better that start to show. These changes may include: more peace, more joy, more love, better relationships, power to overcome some sin in your life which has always been too strong for you to defeat, or something else. Thank God often for his goodness to you.

Others will have read the Can I know God? pages here and not felt able to take that 'step of faith' to follow Jesus. Please do look at the rest of this site as some of your questions may be answered elsewhere.

If you have further questions which would help you to decide if following Christ is for you then do feel free to send us your questions by e-mail and we will attempt to answer them. Please click here to use the Ask a question form.
