Sometimes it can be difficult to remember that God continues working even when we can not. InterVarsity staff, Andi Hendred, was reminded of this in a powerful way recently.
Andi first met Rachel a couple of years ago on one of the community college campuses in St Louis. She quickly got involved with the International Friends group there and attended most of their discussions on the life of Jesus. Rachel seemed very eager to learn about Jesus so Andi was surprised when she stopped attending the group and responding to her attempts to reach out.
After about eight months of not seeing or hearing from her, Andi ran into Rachel on another campus. In that time, Rachel had connected with a local church and even started hosting their prayer meetings in her home. Due to the testimonies of many from that church community, she got a glimpse of what it looks like to be from her country and follow Jesus.
This fall, Andi started meeting regularly with Rachel again to discuss the life of Jesus, pray together, and share how God is at work in their lives. At one of their meetings last month, she shared that she has started following Jesus and is planning to be baptized. Praise God for his continued work in the lives of those around us!
