Big News at Retreat Weekend!

Over the weekend, we took 9 UNC girls to Asheville for a Ski-Retreat! On Saturday night during a Praise and Worship service, one of the girls who I've been hanging out with this year started crying and left the room. I followed her down the hall and she asked if we could talk. She started to explain how she felt doubtful about her salvation and wanted to know how she could be sure she was Christian! I shared Romans 6:23 with her and the more I shared, the more she cried! Soon her suite-mate came down the hall looking for her. We filled Natalie in on what was happening and she started to cry as well saying that she knew that she had become a Christian when she was very young, but had just realized that she hadn't really sought to grow with Christ since then! We prayed together and Nicole gave her life to Christ right then and there and Natalie committed seek out opportunities to grow in her walk! It was an awesome conversation as I got to watch God capture two hearts for Himself and His Kingdom! Ever since that conversation, Nicole has been proclaiming her new life in Christ to her friends both on retreat at back at school and Natalie has been sharing with her friends about her eye-opening experience and new commitment to growth with the Lord! Next week we will be starting a committed 8-week Bible study along with two other girls, Mollie and Andrea! Please pray for these young hearts as they begin to dive into His Word together!
