Ex-Gay Man Shares Testimony Of How He Finds Christ

Matthew Grech, who lives in Malta, told CBN’s Faithwire about his journey out of the occult and same-sex relationships and his foray into the Christian faith.

“I was quite interested in New Age. I wanted to become a reiki master,” he said of his life before finding Jesus. “So, I was involved in the occult to some extent as well as being fascinated by energy.”

Finding Jesus:
That lifestyle was obliterated, though, when Grech was invited to church one day and experienced something he had never felt before: “the presence of God” and the love of genuine believers.

He said the impact of that experience was profound, leading him to fully embrace a Christian life.

“I did commit my life to Jesus Christ and it’s been an awesome journey of just growing in this new identity and life,” he said, noting how his faith also led him away from a gay lifestyle.

“I stumbled upon Bible verses on homosexuality one day. I had never heard homosexuality addressed from a pulpit before, but I was really challenged and I remember just really wanting to be in the will of God.”

Grech said he committed to prayer and God and decided to shift his life to align with biblical truth. He said he realized, “What society calls gay, I don’t have to wear that label anymore … When I understood that, hope filled my heart … heaviness left my body.”

The former gay activist said he “decided to repent” of his past lifestyle and start to explore his identity in Christ.
