A Faith Sharing Experience

Yesterday, I had a sweet conversation with a local student on the campus of Kapiolani Community College. My teammate, Grace, and I paired up and just before approaching this student, Grace gave a short prayer up to God asking that she would talk to us. Right after that, I asked if she would sit down with us, and to the praise of God she was very open and friendly we started to talk. From there I asked her questions about her background, and she mentioned that she goes to church on Easter with her grandma who's a Christian. As we talked further, she mentioned she doesn't know much about Christianity because of the lack of a community to learn about it, but she expressed a desire to learn more. So I asked her if she would like me to tell her more, and she did. So for the first time, I pulled out a little booklet that summarizes all of what it means to be Christian and accept Christ in just a few pages. I spent the next few minutes sharing with her who God is, what "sin" is, and who Jesus was, and at the same time I watched as she intently listened. When I was done, I asked her if it all made sense to her, and she replied "yes" having clearly understood. She thanked me for sharing with her, and before leaving we exchanged contact information. Grace and I left encouraged and uplifted with the conversation. There is a special kind of joy one gets from being able to bring someone closer to God. We pray that God will give us more time to spend with her.
