eksan had a very unhappy childhood. His alcoholic and abusive father always beat his mother. When his father left the Buddhist family, Seksan had to support them at a very young age. He was forced to leave school and find work in the city. There he found a new family—a drug gang. Because of the criminal activity he often engaged in, the police put him in jail for a very long time. He was sentenced for most of his adult life.

"I figured I would die in jail so I tried to kill myself," Seksan recalls. "One day, a friend in prison gave me a book from Bible League called Who Cares When I Hurt? and said it would change my life. So I read it and read it….”

The verse from Proverbs 28:13 challenged Seksan. "In jail, I found the light of life! Oh, how God's Word touched me. When I read the words, 'He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.' I opened up my heart for Him. I believe He is so good, He forgave my sin and changed me.
