Please Pray for Li-Li

Li-Li, a Hokkien high school teacher, had attend 4 weeks of a Seeker Study. Each time she came she would begin with the same sentence, “I am Buddhist so I don’t believe in Christianity, sorry I am wasting your time.”

However, she kept coming back.

She also was reading the New Testament I gave her and said she was praying because it gave her such peace!  On the 4th week, I came prepared to share about Jesus’ Death, Burial and Resurrection and give an opportunity to believe.  Li-Li was the only one to show up that day.  This disappointed me because it was such an important lesson and I wanted the other teachers to hear it too.

But God knew that Li-Li needed some one-on-one time.  She came into class and immediately said reading the Bible had touched her.  She said “I believe it.”

I was so excited! All this before I had even begun to teach the lesson! I could tell that the Holy Spirit was working.

I decided to read through the Gospel Bridge booklet with her. As we read through it I would ask her what she thought.  She kept saying “I believe this.”

However, when it came to the part where she had to make a personal decision she said she could not do so.  She then proceeded to share how angry her husband, her mother, and her mother-in-law would be if she became a Christian.

I shared with her how God can work in their lives, but she was adamant. “It is impossible” she kept saying.

I shared with her how important this decison was for her to make, but she just kept saying she could not.

Would you please  join me in praying for her and her family?  Pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to draw Li-Li to Himself and that Satan’s power-hold on the other family members will be shattered.

We know that “nothing is impossible with God!”
