Can't Wait for the Rest of This Story!

When “Rece” started coming to City Life, he did not have a personal faith in Jesus or seem particularly interested in one. But lately, he seemed different. He started answering questions during Bible discussions and making eye contact with his group leader. He even started volunteering to read verses during Bible study. Then one night at Club, after a discussion about the Gospel and the Holy Spirit, Rece said that he had prayed to receive Christ a couple of weeks earlier at City Life. Though we suspected that he may have done so, the leader wanted to be sure, so she asked some follow up questions:

“What did you do?”
“I prayed the prayer.”
“What prayer?”
“You know -- the prayer!”

For the longest time Rece was disinterested and even hostile to the gospel. Did something happen in his life that helped him see the gospel message in a new light? Did the Holy Spirit simply take the veil from his eyes? We can’t wait to hear the rest of the story!
