A Seed Planted!!!


This is a freshman here at UNC named DJ. I met DJ in the dorms one night a couple of months ago. Over the past couple of months the Lord has been building a relationship between DJ and I. I found some things that DJ enjoyed doing and started doing some of them with him and we began to build a bond, friendship, and trust. During that time God also gave me insight into some of DJ's deep hurts and desires that have led him to a life of perfectionism and a work-aholic mentality. His whole life all he has known, is that in order to have any worth, purpose, or approval from his family of the world that he must be the best athlete and student. He is an extremely hard worker and an amazing athlete and very smart. He plays on the club lacrosse team here and he got a 1400 on his SAT's to help you understand just how gifted this guy is. But, despite all of his gifting, he still can not save himself from his sin. Prior to our relationship DJ had never heard the Gospel and that it was a gift.I have been sharing little bits of my testimony and the Gospel over the past month when we hang out but tonight I finally got to share the Gospel very clearly and take him to scripture. The conversation went amazing and I really feel like the Lord is really working on his heart. He didn't make a profession of faith right there but it really hit him deep. He recognized his need and where he was at and that he wants a relationship but he was a little hesitant. So, I decided to let the conversation sit and I wanted to ask that you would pray with me that the Lord would really move in his heart and make his need very clear. Pray that he would even initiate to me to ask questions about our talk and that he would consider coming to ATL 07. Thanks
