Ten years ago, Marcel Stoob was playing professionally on Switzerland's football team. 'Football was my passion', he says, 'and I was good'.
But then an Achilles heel injury put an end to his dreams for competing for the World Cup. When his young wife also suddenly died of cancer, it seemed like the end of the world. He recalled: 'I thought, why does God take everything away from me that I care about?'
'God wanted to do something new in my life. I knew that I was a sinner and I felt a heavy burden, knowing I would have to stand before God one day. I tried to change myself but it didn't work. When I finally cried out to him, he showed me so clearly he was real. Somebody gave me a New Testament. God started to change me.'
