You never know how God is going to work...

Vania, Adassa and I have been going on campus on Tuesdays to meet students, develop relationships and to have spiritual conversations. Two weeks ago we met three law students and talked for about two hours about the needs that they see in student's lives. One of which was building a good spiritual base (values and morals). I asked them if they felt that this need was being met as they study law. All three said no. Two of the students had to leave, which left us talking with Martha. Martha expressed a desire to understand more about the bible so we met again this past week to discuss what it meant to have a personal relationship with Christ. She did not agree 100% with what we said but we just showed her what the Bible says and openly talked about her doubts. She shared that she wants to learn more. I look forward to studying more in depth with her on Tuesdays at 11:30am! You never know what God will do in her heart!

Which brings me to the story of Marco. 4 1/2 years ago, Heather and I, went on campus everyday in Xalapa. Weekly we saw Marco and we always ended up having spiritual conversations with him. He openly expressed that he was not ready to consider God personally in his life yet. I remember hours and hours talking to him and getting to know him. He was always so nice and he had great questions about God but never really wanted to go much deeper than that. To my surprise he was also at this year's fall retreat and said, "Kim (and Heather), thanks so much for taking time to talk to me about God. He (God) has helped me so much in my life and I am a different person now!" You just never know when or how God is going to work. We spent probably two years getting to know Marco as a friend and sharing about God with him. God always knows our heart and when we will respond to HIM.

I am so thankful to be able to just talk to students about something that really does change lives!
