My Grandpa

My grandpa has been one of the most influential people in my life. Although he does not know Christ, he is such an amazing man! I was so glad that I got to spend so much time with him in Honduras! While we were there he asked me about my trip to Mexico. I began to share with him the amazing experience I had. Of course, he made his racial remarks and he asked me: “why in the world would you go out of America and help people when you can be comfortable right here??” I was pretty surprised, because obviously we have different hearts. He told me he has never been to Mexico and he does not see a reason why he ever will be. Well I believe that God softened his heart during our conversation. By the end of our discussion, he told me he would come with my youth group to San Louis, Mexico, in February, to be our translator for our missions trip. So I am really excited because him opening up to something like this is a HUGE step for him. So I am still praying for God to touch him. I decided to fast one meal each week to spend time praying for my grandfather. One meal really is not a big thing… but it is a start for right now. I originally had this idea because of a conversation I had with my Aunt Chris when I was in Rhode Island (I can’t exactly remember what it was about…) . Anyways, I would like to challenge you to do something similar, whether it is for another non-believer, or maybe someone who is sick. I just know that prayer is effective, and that I want to reach souls for our God.
