Tracy Orosz is a husband, father, and follower of Jesus Christ whose life testifies to the transformative power of faith. For years, invisible wounds weighed heavily on his heart—the kind that don't appear on any medical chart but fracture the soul nonetheless.

Post-traumatic stress disorder cast a long shadow over his daily life, and despite working with therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists through the Veterans Administration, true peace remained elusive. Medication helped manage the symptoms, but Tracy sensed something deeper was still broken.

In 2017, his wife Stacey invited him to attend a Sunday morning church service. Though he didn't believe in God at the time, he went to support her. Week after week, he sat in those pews until one Sunday morning, everything changed. The pastor's words pierced his heart, and a still, small voice began to stir within him. Unable to resist any longer, Tracy surrendered his life to Jesus Christ.

That decision marked the beginning of a profound spiritual transformation. In a moment of desperate faith, he prayed and gave it all to God, trusting fully in the healing power of Christ. What followed was nothing short of miraculous.

"The hard days have not disappeared completely, but God has done what medicine and therapy alone could not—He brought healing, hope, and restoration to Tracy and his family."

Tracy's decade of service in the United States Air Force, including a combat deployment to Balad, Iraq, in 2005, gave him firsthand understanding of the moral and spiritual injuries that so many veterans carry home from war. That understanding, combined with his own journey from brokenness to wholeness, ignited a calling to help fellow veterans find the same freedom.

This led him to found Veterans Restoration Initiative. His life stands as a testament that no matter how deep the wounds, Christ can bring restoration to the brokenhearted.
