My daughter the evangelist

Being a lighthouse for God

I went upstairs to talk to my daughter this afternoon and encourage her to get ready to go and visit her grandparents. She told me to wait a few minutes because she was talking online to a friend of hers that lives in Toronto.

She said that she was talking to him about God and how he needed to be sure that he was being taught the truth in life. He was sharing that someone had invited him to go to a "church" that in reality was a cult. My daughter was trying to explain that this was dangerous for him to do.

After our visit with my parents we came home and my daughter went upstairs to continue her conversation on line. She came down a few minutes later and told me that she was going to call her friend and talk to him. She wondered if I could help her to answer questions her friend might ask in case she got stumped.

She placed the call and she asked if she could put him on speaker phone, he thought that would be great. For the next 45 minutes the three of us had an amazing discussion about God, and truth and His love. It was awesome and I was so impressed that my daughter had such a heart to share her faith with her friend.

Her friend also shared that his dad is an alcoholic and that he wishes that his dad would be set free from alcohol. I had the privilege of praying for his dad and I told him that I would get others to pray for his dad to go and seek help. Please join with me in praying for Glen, that he would be released from the power of alcohol.

I loved to hear my little girl share her faith with a friend. I know it isn't fathers day, and that it is mothers day, but it was an amazing gift to me to hear her be bold for God. I will be praying for her friends salvation and that he would know the truth, because when we know the truth it will set us free. Please pray for Ryan.
