A year ago, a Christian woman from another country visited the Twin Cities and met Lydia. They formed a friendship, and the Christian woman shared the gospel with her. Initially, Lydia rejected it, stating that she could never turn from her religion. After the woman returned to her home country, they continued their friendship through texting, but over time, their communication dwindled. Last month, Lydia reconnected with her Christian friend and shared that she had researched the histories of both their faiths. She found the history of her own faith to be violent, oppressive, and unjust, in contrast to the peaceful and positive spread of Christianity. Lydia was deeply saddened and unsure of what to do. After further conversations, Lydia agreed to read the Bible regularly with her friend. Please pray that God will continue to open Lydia’s eyes to the truth and give her the courage and comfort to receive Christ. Pray that she will find peace and clarity in her journey and that her heart will be softened to embrace the love and grace offered through Jesus. May her friend be guided by wisdom and compassion as she supports Lydia in this transformative time.
