After I posted the first blog on the Sudanese girl, she sent me a text to download whatsapp messenger. I replied back to her and told her that I am on whatsapp on a different number. She then called me and I asked how she was doing. She said she was not doing very well and mentioned something about breaking up with her boyfriend. I asked her if she is willing to come and meet me so we can talk.
She said she can over and we agreed on the time and place. When she came I got to ask a few questions about herself, her family, and her life in general. I also asked her what her experience with the church has been up until now. She mentioned that she went to a Christian school up until she was 18 and her going to church has just been out of duty. She also said that she is not attending any church at the moment.
When I asked what she thought about God, she said she has gone through a lot painful moments in her life that she made doubt the very existence of God. She stated that she had prayed many times but God did not seem to care or answer her prayers. "But do you think our meeting yesterday was a coincidence?" I asked her. With tears in her eyes she admitted that it wasn't.
She then went on to narrate how she had gone to Chemist (Pharmacy) prior to our meeting to buy some medication to end her life. She said the lady at told Chemist advised her against it and told her to go to the house and think about it then come back. When she came back later, that is when I happened to be at that Chemist. She told me that I didn't know what was going on at the moment but I just asked if she was okay and prayed with her not knowing what was really going on.
According to her, she wanted to end her life because there was nothing else to live for after her boyfriend broke up with her. She doesn't have any other friends and so she felt alone in this world. I then told her that God loves her so much to orchestrate a meeting between the two of us. God cares so much for her that He would move the heavens just for her. I then went on to share my ABCs of the Gospel (as Reinhard Bonnke puts it) and she gave her life to Christ.
Hallelujah! Isn't God amazing and wonderful. I am so amazed at His majesty. That is what I call a Holy Ghost moment; a divine appointment. There is no one like our God.
- So pray for Didi (that's her nickname) as she starts on her journey of faith that God will strengthen her.
- Pray that God will reassure her of His love
- Pray that all lies of the enemy in her mind will be silenced.
- Pray for me as I disciple her (we are meeting tomorrow for our first bible reading together) that God will give me wisdom and grace.
- Pray for her studies. She is in college and has exams coming up and has not been able to study until now.
