Denae, Groundwire’s coach coordinator, emailed on Friday with some good news….
“Hey Guys….Thought I would share with you that L***** accepted Christ this afternoon after several conversations with her – very excited about that!”
L***** had been raised in some pretty tough circumstances. She was brought up in a group home where there was pressure to accept religion. She said she accepted just to be left alone. Her mother was in jail for a period of time and continued in poor choices once she got out in spite of claiming to be a Christian. All of this reinforced negative perceptions about Christ and Christianity.
L***** asked many questions over the course of the week–questions like:
“if God really loves us why do bad things happen to good and innocent people and good things happen to bad people?”
Denae helped her navigate through the questions. Eventually, L***** said she was ready, and asked Denae to lead her in prayer to start her new life in Christ.
So, I’m asking for you to pray for L*****. Pray that she gets established in a church, that she embraces the Bible and time alone with God, and that she stays strong during the first weeks of walking with the Lord. Pray that God sends more mentors into her life to help her grow, and that she learns to hear His voice. Thanks for joining us praying for her!
