Steady Spiritual Progression
There was a young couple coming to us for prenatal classes who initially kept us way at arm’s length. The young mom was into Buddhism. The young dad was into witchcraft. Yet as they came in week after week, we saw the warmth of God’s kindness dissolve their “distance” and draw them to Himself. For example…
At first, this couple would stand as far away from our receptionist’s window as possible. After a few weeks, they agreed to us praying for them at the end of their lesson. Then one day they said “Yes” to reviewing the spiritual application portion of their lesson. Later, they accepted a Bible. We started highlighting certain Bible verses for them and they were open to reading them and discussing them. Eventually, they began stepping right up to the receptionist window to schedule their next visit! It is awesome to watch the progress God makes in our clients’ lives!
Would you join us in praying for these clients—that they would say yes to a relationship with God through Jesus? Colossians 1:9-10 expresses what’s possible for these precious young moms and dads through our prayers: “…We have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.”
