Today, anyone who looks at Sidiclei Severo does not imagine what he has gone through.
Let us let him tell it himself:
“I grew up in Alvorada, amid a family of honest working people. At the age of 14, however, my father suffered a stroke, which forced me to transfer my studies at night in order to help him at work. It was at school, where I met an environment that I was not used to: drugs, gangs, fights, violence ...
At the age of 15, I saw my new friends using drugs. Soon I began to follow them. First, I started with cigarettes, then marijuana, soon… I met cocaine and became an addict. To support my habit, I became a marginal.
At age 17, I became a father. But even with a family to care for, I did not leave the drugs.
And when it seemed things could not get any worse, I met crack. The effect was devastating: my wife left me, my parents did not want to see me, I sold everything I had. I almost became a beggar.
One day, they told me that the only way out was to go to an evangelical recover house. I went reluctantly. And I knew there was something stronger than stone. A true rock and that was Jesus! He radically changed my life. My wife saw the change and also decided to follow the rock. Today, I am a new man and I have a happy and blessed family.”
Who knows about this rock, which is greater than stone?
