The Lord has been so good to us and provided several people of peace who wanted to know more about Jesus. One of these people was a younger lady named J. She met us every day eager to dive into the next topic in the Go Book, and towards the end of our time she would have already read & previewed the topic of the day and read the coinciding scripture before we came over. She ended up accepting Christ while we were there. Whenever we would ask her about salvation, she always told us accurately how to be saved. We had been explaining and discussing baptism with her. On our last day she was still deciding because she had heard from her priest that you cannot be baptized "twice" (she had been sprinkled as a baby). She also expressed to us that she had already been experiencing persecution from her family members when she tried to share the Gospel with them. Her cousin asked her if she had gone crazy when she tried to share with her. We were able to leave her with some verses/topics to dive into further during personal devotion time and some memory verses that she could use.

Please be praying for J. Especially that she would be at peace with her decision about baptism, and that she would feel peace about sharing the Gospel with people in her village. And that she would rely on the Lord's strength to sustain her when she receives push back from anyone. I pray that she finds people of peace who also want to hear the Gospel.
