I just met with a young girl who had been raised with no father and who lost her mother when she was in High School. Today she is 20, has no one to guide her, no job, a bad car on its last leg, and no hope for her future. She was referred to me by an agent at a ministry that didn’t know how to get through to her.

After we small-talked for awhile, I opened the subject of her relationship with God. The more we talked, the softer her heart became. She was ripe fruit. Every time I asked her if she wanted to accept Jesus Christ, she said she was scared. Finally, I told her that the only way to deal with that fear was to do it. So, I led her in a sinner’s prayer and she grinned from ear to ear. She had done it! She had overcame her fear and found peace in Christ.

I told her about the importance of being in church and invited her to come this weekend. Pray for Shawna. Satan will not want to let go. But she is my first convert of the new year, so she’s my special project!
