This is the most conversions (over 16) that Central College’s InterVarsity group has seen annually, and it’s only October! Here’s the story of another new believer, as emailed real-time by a student leader at Central College:
A freshman girl Jennifer from Graham came to our small group as we studied Mark 4. She asked honest questions but was really not understanding what was going on in the passage. We talked through a couple of things but then she left. This weekend I received this e-mail from her:
”Hi, I was in your small group last Wednesday night. I don’t know if you can help me but I don’t know who to ask about faith. I am new to being a Christian and new to the bible, and have grown up in a home with atheists. I have had a rough past and am ashamed of it, and am looking to find some guidance for my future. I have been told that I can never be forgiven by God for what I have done in the past and I am scared because if that is true I am afraid what my life has in store for me. Can something from my past be so bad that God can never love me?”
I feel like God is going to absolutely bring new life to her and I’d love if you’d be in prayer. We’re going to meet tonight at 7, so pray for the Spirit’s leading and God’s love for her to be clearly expressed. Thanks!
Here’s the second email from that student leader on the following evening:
Jennifer and I just got done talking, and she prayed tonight to accept Jesus as her savior!! She asked a lot of good questions about forgiveness, prayer and church. I made sure that she knew that she just wasn’t accepting my beliefs, but was beginning a relationship with a living God. She prayed for forgiveness and to receive the Holy Spirit and said that she felt amazing! I went with her back to Graham as she shared with some girls what she just experienced, then I left as she went to a prayer meeting that another girl in Graham had already set up.
I can’t say anything else but praise the Lord!! Thanks for praying!
