Hungry for the Word

When we first met Nanay Nory and her husband, they were very cautious about any sort of religion.  She used to Muslim, and her husband was Catholic.  Through our Bible studies, we shared with her that we were not there to bring religion.  We expressed our desire to share the truths of the Bible and about Jesus Christ.  She did not seem very interested, but she was still willing to study with us.  After a few studies with her, Nanay Nory expressed excitement that we were not trying to force religion on her.  There are many religions in this area telling her that she must follow them to know God and be saved.  She shared that she has faith in Christ alone.  She knows He is the only way because her grandmother told her.  Nanay Nory is incredibly hungry for the Lord and His Word.  She was so grateful for someone to tell her more.  We left her and her family with a Bible for them to study after we leave.
