As Lexie (name changed) was leaving campus, her path crossed with two Cru staff serving at her school in East Asia. That day Lexie was down,
struggling with school, and just wanted to go home. Fortunately, God
had been preparing her heart for this moment. Lexie is a rarity in East
Asia: she speaks English, knows a Christian, and was interested in
learning more about Jesus.
While talking with Lexie about spiritual things, she admitted- "I have evil in
me...I don't deserve Jesus."
These two staff members walked
through the gospel with her, explaining that Jesus loves her just as she is, and he died for her.
She did not have to do anything to deserve Jesus, He gives himself
freely to those who invite Him in as savior.
Lexie was overwhelmed by this good news, the grace that God gives us through Jesus. God had been preparing her for this moment, and opened her eyes to see her need to accept Christ into
her life.
Our God is sovereign and works in mighty ways to bring people all over the world into a relationship with himself. Lexie now understands how great grace is, and she wants others to be able
to hear about Christ's love for them. Lexie is a huge answer to pray
for this staff team in East Asia who have been praying for someone to be an ambassador for Christ on her campus!
