This past Sunday we were at the First Baptist Church of Belvidere, NJ. It was at this meeting God gave us an unexpected opportunity that we covet your prayers about!
In the evening service one of the families brought an Italian foreign-exchange student from Bologna. After presenting our ministry, we began a friendly conversation with Julia. She was excited to demonstrate her English skills as we talked for quite awhile.
Then the subject switched from talking about life to religion. Once we brought up the topic she expressed an interest in knowing the difference between Catholicism and Christianity.
We talked about salvation being a free gift of grace through faith.
She talked about how Martin Luther only left the Catholic church because he did not like the materialism.
We mentioned that he left because he read the book of Romans and realized that salvation was a free gift of grace through faith.
During this great in-depth conversation it seemed at times that Julia was very close to getting saved. Unfortunately at the end, Julia just was not ready to leave Catholicism.
Please take a moment to pray for Julia - that God would open her eyes to the gospel of grace and bring her to a place of repentance and faith in Christ.
