GUYS!!!!!!!! I am excited, thrilled, and moved beyond words!!!! God has answered our prayers, and GABY BECAME A CHRISTIAN this morning!!!! This is our last week here, and my prayer has been that it would be a God-sized week in all of our lives. I prayed about our day of classes as usual, but I must admit I never dreamt that today would be the day when Gaby’s heart truly understands!!
We didn’t get to any Spanish grammer this morning, but spent it talking and conversing, and then the last few hours were spent explaining the way to heaven. Somehow we got started talking about heaven, which wasn’t a new topic for us to talk about, but we asked Gaby how she personally believes that she can get to heaven. That opened up the door for us to explain that Jesus is the only Way to the Father, that He is the Door into eternal life. The things we do are only things, and it’s only through Jesus Christ that we have assurance of life with God in heaven!!
The three of us were all crying at different points this morning, and Gaby is the happiest woman alive today!! She truly understands and believes with all of her heart that Jesus is the Savior and the Messiah and the Lord, and it’s personal and real in her own heart now!! She told us, “I am your teacher in Spanish, but you are my teachers of the Bible.” She told us that this is such a special day in her life, because now she knows and understands that Jesus is the only way to heaven!!
Thank you soo soo much for all of you that have prayed for Gaby… You are the power behind all this, and are as much a part of revealing Jesus to her as Jan and I have been in talking with her. Your rewards are eternal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS LIFE IS ALL ABOUT JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
