During a recent trip to a very unreached area, we had the unique privilege of seeing someone accept Jesus as Savior and choose to get baptized.
One woman in this area had previously heard the good news from our teammates and had chosen to believe at that time. This woman’s husband stated that he didn’t want to follow Christ, but he did allow her to keep her beliefs. Since then, she has continued in her faith and has been praying for her husband to believe.
On the last day of our visit, the woman noticed our teammates and invited them to her home to talk. While there, they were able to share the good news with her husband. He usually left the room when they talked about Christ, but this time he stayed.
After listening to them share, he burst into tears and told them he wanted to believe. After praying, stating his desire to receive Jesus, the group told the husband the story of the Ethiopian Eunuch who chose to get baptized immediately (Acts 8:26-40). In response, the husband told them he, too, wanted to get baptized!
This family was so happy to be united under Christ. Praise God for His persistence in reaching the lost and answering the prayer of this man’s wife!
Ways to pray for this couple:
- Pray that this husband and wife maintain their faith in Jesus Christ.
- Pray that they are transformed daily by the Gospel.
- Pray they can share the Gospel and their experience with their family members and community.
- Pray that this couple may never give up in their new journey with Christ.
