Theresa Herbrand | GermanyMy name is Theresa Herbrand and I live in Dusseldorf, Germany. I am 22 years old and am a medical student in my 4th year. I was saved on the 4th of November, 2011, at around 3 am, after what felt like years of searching for the truth. For you to understand how difficult getting saved meant to me at that time, I will tell you a little about myself. My mom has been going to the church since before I was born and I grown up in moim. After having gotten familiar with the bible I thought I was saved when I was 14. As time passed by, however, I got busier and when I was about to graduate from highschool I stopped going to the church. Yet I did not stop thinking about it all together and when people asked I would always say that I believed in God, but in reality I wasn't sure about what I was saying. In my second year of university my mom put more pressure on me to at least attend the German conference, so in 2009 I decided to go, at least for the weekend. To be honest, I did not like it at all. I found it boring and nothing they said applied to me. I felt I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and when the conference was over I was happy to leave.However, even weeks later the thought that those people there at the conference seemed to know something that I didn't, did not leave me alone. There were no proper student/young adults meeting in Dusseldorf moim at that time, so I asked Martin Hwang, who was also not born again, and Ki-Ok Lee, if they wanted to watch The "Bible is True' tapes with me. We met every Monday for two years then and talked about the bible.I got more familiar with the bible through these meetings but I often only went there because there were only three people and I felt if I skipped a meeting, I would let Ki-Ok and Martin down. Around this time last year, I had my first national medical state examination, which meant a lot of stress for me but at the back of my head I constantly felt guilty for not concentrating on the bible as much as I wanted to. I promised myself to really seek the word and find the truth once this exam is over. In spring 2011 I was planning on doing an internship at a hospital in Bolivia and when I told my mom about the plan she suggested attending the Brazilian Bible Conference, which happened to start only a couple of days after the internship. I did not want to spend the money at first but since I promised myself to find out the truth about the bible, I ended up going to Sao Paulo, Brazil. I received a warm welcome from the brothers and sisters there and, to my surprise, I met In-Ae Lee at the conference. The conference was quite small and sincere and I was struck to see these people working hard for one common goal a goal which I could not yet understand. I was moved by how they all worked together and even the students were so involved in all the work that l became even more curious why that was.Since I was the only person needing English translation, I had my personal translator for every sermon and I was so grateful how m
