Man Chooses to Fight Addiction with God’s Word

When Gunav was just a young boy, his father passed away. The family was left without a head of the home, and Gunav was left without a father’s guidance.

Consequences of Poor Choices

As he grew older, Gunav fell into bad company. He turned to drinking, which later led him to a drug addiction.

Though Gunav’s mother, Aaja, had believed in the truth of God’s Word and in Jesus prior to marriage, the family practiced her husband’s traditional religion. Aaja was distressed by her son’s poor decisions and tried to convince him to stop following such an unhealthy path. But Gunav ignored his mother’s concerned pleas to quit taking drugs. He did as he pleased, spiraling further downward in his destructive lifestyle.

Aaja wasn’t the only one who was concerned about him. Gunav’s friend Jiyu, saddened by Gunav’s unwise choices, looked for an opportunity to share with him the love of Jesus and a better way to live.
