In a heartfelt conversation on "JustGospel," host Carlett spoke with Magda Zietsman, whose story of faith and perseverance offers inspiration to listeners worldwide. Zietsman's journey, spanning decades, demonstrates how faith can provide strength through life's most challenging moments.

Zietsman's spiritual connection began at just seven years old when, curious about the Bible stories her mother read, she independently read through the entire New Testament. "The pages became alive, the anointing was there," she recalled. This early encounter with faith left an indelible mark on her life, though she described periods of doubt and distance from her spiritual path. A pivotal moment came when Zietsman was 27. After attending church with her husband, she was deeply affected by a sermon about the reality of hell. The experience prompted her to reconnect with her faith on a deeper level. "Since then, the word is a living word," she explained. "It completely overwhelmed me and just testified of the truth."

Life's trials continued to test Zietsman's faith. In 1999, she faced the loss of her husband, leaving her a single mother to three teenagers. She candidly admitted making "wrong decisions" during this difficult period, including a twenty-four-year struggle with her son's drug addiction. "But God has been faithful," she emphasized. "He brought him back when I didn't have any hope."

Today, Zietsman celebrates that her son not only overcame his addiction but now speaks at schools about making positive life choices. For the past year, she has seen another long-awaited blessing—her sons join her every morning at 7:00 AM to read the Bible and pray together.

A particularly moving part of Zietsman's testimony concerns her younger brother, who died in a car accident at age 22. Before his death, he had asked her how to accept Jesus into his heart. For nineteen years, she wondered if he had found his faith before passing. This question ultimately led her to Bible school to learn how to effectively lead others to faith.

In what she describes as a miracle, Zietsman eventually discovered her brother had written a note just two weeks before his death expressing his faith and readiness to "spend eternity with my Lord Jesus Christ." This revelation brought both closure and renewed purpose to her evangelistic calling.

Now dedicated to sharing her faith through officiating weddings and funerals, Zietsman sees these occasions as opportunities to help others consider their spiritual journeys. "Where are you going when you leave this earth?" she often asks those she encounters.

As the interview concluded, Zietsman offered words of encouragement to listeners: "Never get tired. When you are tired, the most powerful prayer is when everything of you calls out to the Lord... Never lose faith. Never lose hope. It's a living Lord."

Her parting message emphasized the importance of forgiveness and God's faithfulness, regardless of past mistakes. "It's never too late," she assured. "It's too late when your breath stops, but it's not too late before that." Zietsman's story stands as a testament to finding purpose through faith and using personal struggles as a platform to bring hope to others.
