30 years ago today, 10/30/22, I got saved! Heard your testimony when you all and News Boys were at the Atlanta Civic Center in 1992 and gave my heart to Jesus. So, as a special treat to myself, let's hear it again John!

Petra music was the background music of my childhood. They played at my church when I was 12. It's wicked to hear his testimony and that he's been able to stay sober all these years.

Thank you for sharing this video. Amazing, beautiful testimony! I love PETRA ever since I was a new Christian. I really love that part when John said, "but I didn't realize the pastor's house had the Holy Spirit" 🙂, "I went in with an attitude, I walked out with Christ". Praise Jesus! God bless!

Petra, my all time favourite Christian group. God used this band to take me out of secular rock and teach me more about Himself. Thank you Jesus ❤

What a great testemony!!! Some years later and I am here, just to say that I'm a big fan from Brazil!!!❤️ The verses of the song "Pray" ... in my opinion, is totally related to John's testemony and so many others all over the world...🌎 It doesn't matter if it was in the past, or in the current days or even in the future, Our God is the same Miracle worker, Promise keeper Light in the darkness and the Saviour of our lives!!! 🤩 "First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are For coming to the rescue of a man who's drifted far For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve Lord the way You've blessed my life is more than I deserve" 🙌 ❤️🙏

i grew up with petra, started drumming because of them.. i used to love louie.. got myself a dw drumkit like he used to play and i kept on beating the ish out of it. thatsa what made me a musician.. but over the years, i drifted so far. johns story really caught me. so much things in common with this dude.. today is the9th of july 2017, i made a decision. hopefully I am strong enough to to keep it up. trying to reach the next plateau, or die.. thank you for uploading this
