New Christians Growing in Grace
Rhanny, a lady in her
early thirties, was invited by Bro. Benefield to come to Good News Baptist
Church over a year ago; but she wasn’t interested in the least. But a few
months later, one of her friends invited her to a church, and she reluctantly
went; but God began doing a work in her heart. About seven months ago she
decided to start searching for Good News Baptist Church because of its closeness
to her house (the church she was attending with her friend was quite a distance
from her house). She remembered the description of the location that Bro.
Benefield had given her initially, and she found the church on one Monday
morning. I happened to be home that day (we live right next to the church), so
I was able to talk to her and answer some questions. She began attending church
the following Sunday, and I could see that she was having some serious
spiritual struggles. Namely, she was constantly plagued by an intense fear of
ghosts and demons, a common struggle for the average Khmer (Cambodian) person.
God gave me the opportunity to counsel with her and use her struggle as an
opportunity to teach her the Gospel. After many weeks of faithfully coming to
the services and listening to the Gospel taught by me and Karona (one of the
faithful ladies in the church), she finally received Jesus Christ as her
Savior. And she hasn’t missed a beat since!
