Sharing the Gospel with the refugee

God opened up an amazing door for Amber and I with a couple of young refugee girls. We talked to them at a bus stop and sat with them on the bus ride a few months ago. We gave them each a Bible and some other materials. We exchanged emails with them and corresponded with the eldest (16) for a while through email. She asked us in her emails to come see her and teach her the Bible. We finally went to see her Sat., Sept. 5th, not sure if she would be home. We met at Sbucks and prayed and I brought some children's materials to help us share the gospel. Her English is not too great considering she moved here in May, but amazing at the same time. We found the apartment complex and parked. Trying to be discrete, (yeah right), Amber's car alarm decided to go off and she couldn't figure out how to turn it off for several minutes...so we made quite the entrance. After going to the wrong apartment (and being invited in), her brother helped us find their apartment. And he was home! Praise God! We were able to walk her through the gospel of Jesus Christ beginning with creation, she even had a Bible in Napli which she was able to read the first chapter of Genesis in out loud. We talked about who God is, creation and sin. We talked to her about our fallen nature and the fact that we deserve punishment in hell. We discussed Romans 3:23 and 6:23. Amber talked to her about Jesus, Who He is, what He did and the cross. We spent 2.5 hours with her and it went by so quickly. She told us she wanted to learn how to pray. Amber and I each prayed out loud with her and then she prayed a short prayer as well. It was an amazing time that we pray the Lord used to begin to open her eyes and take off the blinders on her heart.

I feel so blessed and unworthy to have had this opportunity to be used to spread the gospel. I pray that God will draw her to himself and use her to save more refugees. Amber and I are praying that we will be asked to come back and share more with her, at this point she has not emailed us. I have emailed her twice. We know the message of the gospel is offensive and it is veild to those who are perishing, but I pray God will draw her.

We did not lead her through a "sinner's prayer", we know the gospel is the power that saves a person.

Please Pray that we can go speak with her again
Please pray that God will save her by His mighty power
Pray that God will move among the refugees in Tucson by saving those in the communities

May the Lamb that was slain receive His due reward! It is all for the Glory of Christ and God the Father and not for the sake of any man that we pray for the salvation of helpless souls!
