| Driving Sandy builds trust |
United KingdomOM InternationalEnglish/Français“Driving Sandy* on an errand from 9:30pm to 2:30am one evening went way beyond what we at OM Lifehope normally do,” says Elizabeth, “but it helped so much to build more trust in our relationship.” Since then, Elizabeth and Sandy have been keeping in touch, and although Sandy is not a Christian, she forwarded Elizabeth a Christian blessing she had received by SMS one day! So OM Lifehope prayed for Sandy during their Thursday prayer meeting. “When I awoke from my Sunday nap that week,” remembers Elizabeth, “I didn’t feel like getting out of bed, but then my eyes rested on a Children’s Adventure Bible I had bought at a Christian book store in Wales. I suddenly felt the urge to present it to Sandy and her children as a gift that very same day.” After calling to ensure Sandy was at home, Elizabeth jumped into her car and set off, glad that Sandy would have the Children’s Adventure Bible to read to her children before bedtime that day. "We soon got chatting about her personal plans and even relationships," says Elizabeth, "and when I prayed for her about three hours later, she was really touched.” Pray that Sandy would come to know and trust Jesus through reading Bible stories to her children every night, and that the questions her children have about God would become her answers too. *name changed
Un service qui a instauré la confiance – Lifehope (GB) Après avoir appelé pour s’assurer que Sandy était à la maison, Elizabeth a sauté dans sa voiture et est partie, heureuse de savoir que Sandy allait avoir la Bible de l’Aventure à lire à ses enfants avant de dormir le soir. « Très vite nous en sommes venu à parler de ses projets personnels et même de ses relations, » raconte Elizabeth, « et quand j’ai prié pour elle environ trois heures plus tard, elle était vraiment touchée. » Priez pour que Sandy puisse connaître Jésus et placer sa confiance en lui en lisant les histoires de la Bible à ses enfants chaque soir, et que les questions que ses enfants auront sur Dieu deviennent ses réponses aussi. *les noms ont été changés.
