"I want to really become God's child!"

Rey has come with his brother Richard to Good News Club at Troy Crossroads since we started this month. His first week, Rey went back with one of my teaching partners for counseling. Rey said that he wanted to be God's child. So, he prayed to receive Jesus. When my partner presented Rey to me after this, Rey wouldn't tell me what he had just prayed. At the time I just assumed he was just shy.

Then this week, Rey came back for counseling after I gave the lesson. When asked why he came back, Rey said that he wanted to become God's child. I asked him about his last time with my teaching partner. Rey said that he really didn't mean it when he prayed. He went on to say that he had been behaving bad lately. Rey then said, "I want to really become God's child!" So, he prayed to recieve Christ, only this time he meant it. After his prayer, I went over assurance with Rey and he was bursting with excitment because he knew that he was now God's child. When Rey prayed a thank you prayer to God for making him God's child, Rey prayed "God thank you that you are God. Please help me to be good. Thank you for forgiving me and making me your child. You are my God. I pray that all the people of the world would come to know you as Savior!"

This truly was a moment for me to step back and watch God work! Praise God for Rey's decision.
