Quasad is a 26-year-old man whose life has been transformed by the grace of God.

Quasad, as a young boy, ran away from home with dreams of becoming rich. He joined a gang involved in drug trafficking and began selling drugs to others, eventually using them himself. His life quickly spiraled into addiction, crime and hopelessness as he sought money and escape in all the wrong places.

On June 9, 2024, Quasad’s life took a dramatic turn. That afternoon, he arrived at a hotel to deliver drugs to a buyer. Michael Bridge, a youth leader from the Free Methodist Church, happened to be there and observed Quasad as he conducted his business. As Quasad prepared to leave, Michael approached him and invited him to sit and join him for a cup of tea.

Assuming Michael was a potential buyer, Quasad agreed, expecting to make a sale. But instead of a customer, he found someone who cared deeply about his soul. Michael began sharing stories of redemption, transformation and freedom from sin through Jesus Christ. He spoke about young people whose lives had been changed by the power of God and explained the gospel, emphasizing God’s love and His plan for Quasad’s life.

As Michael shared these truths, the Holy Spirit moved in Quasad’s heart. He felt convicted of his sins and overwhelmed by the possibility of a new beginning. Right there, on the spot, Quasad repented, gave his life to God and accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.

Quasad’s transformation was immediate and profound. He walked away from his old life of addiction and crime and stepped into a new life in Christ. Today, he is an active member of the Free Methodist Church and is growing in his faith. He has found purpose, peace, and hope he never thought possible.

Quasad’s story is a testament to the goodness and mercy of God. It reminds us no one is beyond redemption, and God desires to save and transform every sinner. We pray Quasad’s journey will inspire others – especially those battling addiction – to find freedom and hope in Christ. May God continue to work in Quasad’s life, shaping him into a vessel of His grace and using him to lead others – especially those trapped in addiction – to the saving knowledge of Jesus.
