From Addiction to Freedom -- Yorkshire evangelist launches UK tour to share his remarkable story of transformation
By Peter Wooding, European Bureau Chief for ASSIST News Service

Five years ago in Bradford, Yorkshire, Bruce Pearson had no sense of purpose, hope, or identity.
“I needed alcohol to sleep, cocaine to wake up,” he says.
However,
Bruce’s journey to recovery and a new life began when a Franciscan Monk
shared the Christian faith with him and gave him a Gospel of Matthew
booklet.
The next morning in his hostel, Bruce switched on his battered old radio.
“This
voice came up from Dr Michael Youssef, president of Leading The Way,
and he starts talking about Christ,” Bruce says. “Straightaway I
understood what this authority is. And it’s the stuff that Jesus taught.
That’s the uncompromised truth.”
Bruce
decided to commit his life to Christ and was radically transformed --
from addiction to freedom. But that wasn't the end of the story.
Today,
Bruce is not only ministering on the same streets where he once lived;
he is also proclaiming the Gospel through his own radio programme and he
even introduces Dr. Michael Youssef’s teaching show straight after his.

He
shared with the crowd: “Five years ago, I was on a different stage and
the director was the devil. But now I stand on a different stage with a
different story, and the director is the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Speaking
about his UK tour he explained: “Over the next five months I’ll be
travelling up and down the country to share my testimony. My goal is to
connect with people who don’t know the Lord and to encourage Christians
that God is still at work, and we’ve got a job to do in sharing that
message.
“I’ll
also be talking about the incredible work Leading The Way is doing,
particularly in the Middle East. So often we look with despair and
helplessness at this region of the world. So, I want to reassure people
by sharing what this ministry is doing, providing practical and
spiritual support to so many displaced Christians facing persecution.”
