Former supermodel Tracy Trinita converted to Christianity, left the industry to study at Oxford and became a pastor. She now travels the world sharing the gospel.
Originally from a small village in Bali, Trinita’s life changed when she won a modelling competition and moved to New York to pursue a career in the industry aged just 15. Initially, she was lured in by the wealth and glamour that modelling promised.
“I thought that if I had more money I would be happier, so I pursued modelling for happiness, leaving my friends and family behind to travel to New York,” she told Christian Today.
Trinita became the first Indonesian supermodel, yet despite her worldly success, friends and a boyfriend, she says that she could not escape the feeling of emptiness. She looked to her friends for advice, but their suggestions of taking drugs and partying “scared” her, so she began to seek an alternative.
Noticing that people with faith seemed happier and more content, she decided to explore the idea of there being a God. But having grown up in a multi-faith environment – with a Catholic, a Protestant and a Muslim in her family – she was then left confused as to whose God was real.
In the confusion of so many opinions, she cried out to God as a last resort asking, “please reveal yourself to me.”
