Student Leads Student to Faith

I love October 26th and it will always be the day remember as the day that I witnessed one of my brothers come to Christ! !!!!!!!! =)!!#%!#%(_!#(

We have interviews in our fraternity where our new members have sit downs with the actives and have a nice little interview session with them. I was having a phenomenal interview with one of the new members. We ended up talking for a solid hour and a half, and that’s ways longer than

any of the other interviews I have. After exchanging personal question after personal questions, I definitely noticed how selfless and big his heart was. Before the very end of our interview, I ended up asking him about his spiritual background.

He told me that he prays every now and then but doesn’t really know what higher being he believes in.
I thought that was interesting because when I asked him who he prays to, he’s not really sure, but he prays for guidance and says he receives it every now and then.

I asked him what his thoughts were no Christianity and Jesus Christ and he said he didn’t know a lot and wanted to know about him. So I asked him if he wanted hear me talk about it cause it was going to be for a while (especially since we’ve already been talking for such a long time) and he said yes.

First thing I did was ripped out a page in his notebook and drew him the four circles diagram! After going through it, he said that it makes so much sense and then he started asking me some questions about common misconceptions.

I explained how Christianity isn’t all about ‘religion’, ‘laws’ or ‘rules’ but about an intimate relationship with God. I explained how Sin isn’t necessarily bad acts towards others but it is merely the absence of good; Just how darkness is the absence of light.

He continued to reaffirm how much it makes sense and then I shared with him my very first testimony when I was unsure about accepting Christ and I told him how I experienced the Holy Spirit. After I said that and him saying how much it makes sense, I asked him, “Is this something that you want in your life?” Thinking that he’d say no since that’s how most of my conversations went and he said, “Yes, I want that.”

I FREAKED out, I was like what!? I asked him “Really!?” Twice just to make sure I wasn’t dreaming and he said yes.

I started thinking, “Oh my gosh, training didn’t help me with this part!” Haha

I explained to him how to accept Jesus in his life with prayer and told him what kind of prayer to pray and he was very nervous about it so I ended up having him repeat the same prayer that Ryan did that no secrets with me.

After, “Man, I feel really, really relieved.”

I bought him a bible today and wrote that October 26th is a day that the angels rejoiced for you in Heaven and told him to start reading Matt.

He’s coming to the bible study tomorrow!!!!
