We met Yvonne a few
years ago at a prayer station in Jamaica, Queens. She had an amazing testimony
of how God delivered her from drugs. She knew the power of God in her life, but
after being hurt from some negative experiences with her church, she began to distance herself from other believers. We had a good talk with her about the
importance of and having fellowship with other believers despite their flaws.
We exchanged contact information and invited her to join us at King's
Fellowship.
Amy kept in touch with
her, calling her from time to time to check up on her and pray with her, encouraging
her as much as she could, but we eventually lost touch with Yvonne. Several
months went by without hearing from her. But then, last fall, Amy received a
voicemail from Yvonne stating that God had been speaking to her about needing
to be a part of a church again. She knew she needed the fellowship and the
encouragement. Since then, Yvonne has been a regular attendee of our Sunday
night services and has even joined us for outreach.
Yvonne is not the same
woman we met a few months ago! God is healing her heart and drawing her into
deeper relationship and she has even expressed an interest in volunteering more
of her time with us. It has been incredible to see God's commitment to Yvonne
and it has also been a big answer to prayer, as we are constantly praying for
those we meet to be drawn closer to God and come into a church where they can
be discipled.
