I am currently a nanny for a 13 year old boy with cerebal paulsy and Autism. When I first began the job last fall, I began to pray that the Lord would show me how to be a missionary here, where I am at, before I left to be a missionary in the nations. Well, the Lord completely opened up an opportunity for me to share the Gospel with my Child’s physical therapist. I completely bypassed the opportunity because of fear. Since then, that conversation has been echoing in my mind. Then, when the holidays came, he came close to dying because of liver failure. I knew God wanted me to DO something. He was stirring my heart. Though I barely know this man, I would find myself thinking about Him and how I could not let my fear get in the way of him going to Hell. So I began praying that God would show me what I needed to do next. It was Easter Sunday afternoon, I wanted to lie down and take a nap. My dad gave me the rest of the books that he bought for me for preparation for the World Race. I decided that I would read and then hopefully fall asleep….well, I began reading The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind and the Holy Spirit started moving again in my heart. I HAD to go down to the hospital and pray for this guy. The next night, a girl from my small group, Jessica and I went down to Atlanta to pray for this man that I barely knew. Little did I know that he was about to go into surgery to get a liver transplant. We walked in and prayed for his healing while he laid in his bed, unable to move or talk. He had his surgery and he is now well on his way to recovery. I now understand the urgency of the gospel. I understand that if the Lord wants His children then He is going to call them in some way but we have a responsibility here on earth to share with others. What a complete and amazing joy! I want to encourage you to tell at least one person who Christ is and experience the joy that comes with it! Jesus is ALIVE!
