I took the initiative to share the gospel...

...leaving the results to God, and had the opportunity to walk a girl through the assurance of salvation. I met with Samantha Genochio because she filled out a contact card at the Lee Strobel event. On the card she indicated that she wanted to learn more about developing a personal relationship with Jesus. When we met, I asked her if anyone had ever walked her through the gospel or explained what Christianity is all about, and she said no. As we went through the Four Laws booklet, we discussed her background (grew up Catholic, but never really went to church)and the hesitations she has about the Church. At the end, she told me she had prayed to receive Christ at Lee Strobel, but didn't know what came next. As I shared about the assurance of salvation and the Spirit-filled life, it was exciting to see everything "click" with her. She doesn't have a Bible, but is anxious to learn, so we're going shopping for one on Monday, and then we're going to start the 5 follow-ups with Ashley Volmert, who was her roommate last year! It's really exciting to be able to include another student in this process. I'm really looking forward to watching what the Lord does in Samantha's life as she grows in her relationship with Him! -Laurie
