Friday night at youth group was a totally God ordained evening. I believe God moved in a powerful way because of the prayers of our supporters! Rachel, one of our teenagers gave her life to Christ. She has been coming to church since September last year. But, Chris and I had noticed recently that Rachel came to church no matter what! She didn't have to be picked up, or brought, but that she now "walked" to church on her own. So, we had been asking people to pray for her specifically and for us to find an opportune time to share Christ with her. Friday night God just really spoke to her and moved in such a strong way on her life. And, we gave an opportunity for people to say "yes" to being a Christian and pray the sinner prayer. Afterwards we asked if anyone would like to announce out loud their decision and immediately Rachel announced she has just become a Christian! We were so amazing and God has already done amazing things in her life! Pray for Rachel as she takes Christianity explained and also as she starts to learn what it means to live in her "new life!".
This was also a special moment for one of our teens named Bethany. Because, Bethany keeps commenting about how she is not a "good enough" Christian and how she is always messing up and she is really hard on herself at times.. But, Rachel became a Christian because of Bethany's friendship. And, it was an opportune time for me to point out to Bethany how important she is.. And, how God used her to work in Rachel's life! Because of Bethany's friendship and her testimony of how God lives in her... Rachel has become a Christian!
Then on Sunday night Rachel came walking to church but also brought her younger sister Laura. And, Rachel is now giving her sister the opportunity to experience what she has. Please pray for Laura that she would see God working in all of us.. And, that she may open her eyes and soften her heart to hear the word of God speak to her.
