Please Welcome Janine Into God's Family!

Julie here. I want to tell you about a student named Janine. She is a freshman this year at OSU. I met Janine about a month ago through an outreach Campus Crusade did. Janine and I started meeting every week to talk about God and spirituality and the deeper issues of life. She was so open and wanting to hear about Jesus. Through the times we got together, I shared the gospel with Janine. She had a chance to ask a lot of questions and even wrestle through some doubts she had. Over the weeks it was clear that she had a very good understanding of the sacrifice Christ made for her and of what that meant for her life. For the last several weeks, she would say, "I am so close to giving my life to Christ."

Yesterday when I met with Janine, she said she was ready to surrender her life to Christ. She knew it meant giving up the throne or driver's seat of her life to Christ. We prayed together and she gave over control of her life to Jesus. It was a beautiful sweet moment (in fact the sun came shining out from behind the clouds right after that!) :) Right after that, Janine said "I'm so happy, I can't stop smiling!" She said she felt like a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

I will continue to meet with Janine weekly to disciple her in the basics of following Jesus. Please pray with us for Janine. My hope is that she will catch the vision for sharing with others about her new relationship with Christ and come to a place where she can lead others to Christ and disciple them....thus "spiritual multiplication" happening. We serve an amazing God!!!!!
