Great News

So I have some amazing news! On Sunday June 22, 2008, I went out evangelizing in Gatlinburg with Whitney and Taylor. I got the chance to talk to a girl named Amber by myself. She was really sweet. I did the Quest survey with her and she told me that she has gone to church all her life. I had a Knowing God Personally book and a Satisfied? book. But for some reason I decided to go through the KGP book. I explained that sin separates us from God and that Jesus is the only way. In the book there is this great illustration of two circles. One (on the right) with Christ on the outside and self on the throne and the other (on the left) that has Christ on the throne and self sumbiting to Christ. I explained the circles and asked her which circle she thought she was and she told me the one on the left. I then asked her which circle would she want to be. And she said the one on the right. I was so excited and turned the page of the booklet and read a prayer to recieve Christ. After I finished reading the prayer, I asked her if that was the desire of her heart and she answered yes. So I asked her if she wanted to pray that prayer and she said she just did when I was reading it. I was so amazed at how God could work through me. I finished my conversation with her and went back with Whitney and Taylor. I just think its so awesome how God can work through me. I would never have thought that I could lead someone to Christ, but it was actually God using me to tell this girl that just going to church wasnt enough, which was exactly what she needed to hear. Praise God!
