How I Became a Christian – Simon, founder of JesusBYS

This article recounts a true and deeply personal journey that began with an unjust arrest on the eve of a birthday and led to a life-changing spiritual awakening. What initially appeared to be a senseless abuse of power became the setting for a profound realization: that Jesus had been present all along, even during years of doubt, pain, and denial.

Through memories of childhood trauma, abandonment, injustice, and perseverance, the story traces how moments once perceived as mere survival were in fact quiet acts of guidance and protection. In the stillness of a police office, the author confronts the idea of justice, faith, and truth—only to discover that what seemed absent had never left.

This testimony explores surrender, spiritual rebirth, and the unexpected way suffering can become a calling. It reveals how a moment of darkness gave rise to creativity, faith-driven storytelling, music, and a mission that now reaches millions worldwide through JesusBYS.

A story about injustice, clarity, redemption, and the unwavering presence of Jesus—even when unseen.
