Last night, Cong* announced, “I’m a child of God too!” He told a couple of other new believers with whom he’d been studying the Bible that he had repented of his sins and had decided to make Jesus his only God! Cong was first exposed to the gospel through the witness of faithful Christians a little over a year ago. Since then, he has been regularly attending a Bible study for those wanting to know more about Jesus. Although he understood the decision the gospel required, as the eldest son, he was not ready to break his family’s tradition and ruin his relationship with his parents. Last month, he surprisingly joined another Bible study where new believers were being discipled. Through this, he has been reading his Bible and discussing the basics of the Christian faith every week. Though he’s had all the knowledge he needed for a long time, praise God that last week, he decided to respond to God’s call and make this eternal decision for himself! Please pray for Cong’s continued spiritual growth, and ask that he will soon follow in believer’s baptism. Also, please pray that God will use his testimony and new life in Christ to bring others in his extended family and his friends to Christ. (*name changed)
