Selwa, a 24 year old coptic girl that babysat for us when we first came here, came over to the house today to visit. She sat with tears in her eyes and told me about problems she was going through and how she wanted to go to america or any other country. The conversation quickly turned to religion and I asked her to tell me how she believed she would go to heaven, being that many people call themselves "christians" but believe very differently. After not being able to give me a good answer and changing the subject back to her problems, I was able to tell her my testimony and explain to her that her true need was a personal relationship with Christ through faith alone. She was very interested; it was very obvious that the Lord was working. I sat down with her and lead her through the plan of salvation. After taking much time to make sure she understood, she told me this was something she wanted to do at the time. This young lady began praying in a standing position with her palms up, like the coptics do, but ended it on her knees, face down, begging God to save her.
There was a very sweet moment in the middle of the time we were talking, after going over Romans 10:9-13, that it looked like a light bulb went off in her brain. She said, I always thanked God for the cross and for loving me, but never thought to ask Him for salvation.
She left with gratitude and joy. She talked about how she was going to tell her family. Then, she asked if we could explain it to her sister as well. Thank GOD!!
I am so humbled and overjoyed to see God work in such miraculous ways!!! -Just last night, I felt defeated. - God is Good!!!
