Mr. G

I met Mr. G yesterday. He used to be in another religion, but today he is a follower of Jesus. His testimony was powerful and his coming to Christ started with a believer that he met in the U.S. laying hands on him and praying a blessing on him. God answered that prayer within hours of the prayer and that started him on the search. The second time he encounted believers, was when he was in a hospital following an accident. Believers came around praying for the sick and asked him if they could pray for him. He agreed and God did a miracle on the spot! This brought him closer.

After becoming a believer, he found out that a young lady in his neighborhood had been praying 15 years for his salvation. She often came with a friend and stood outside his home to pray for him.

Since becoming a follower of Jesus, he has lost everything. He has been offered lots of money to come back to his former faith, but he says he would rather die of starvation that leave Jesus.

It was a day of rejoicing for me to hear this man and his wives testify of their faith. It was also a reminder of the power of prayer. Prayer had its impact on Mr. G's life. Let's renew our prayer for the lost, in specific and personal ways!
