Lucy's Story from Germany
"You have to meet Lucy. She's really interested in Jesus", one of our students, Peter, explained to us. John and Kristen Koeshall, AGWM Personnel ministering with Students for Christ in Germany go on to tell the following story. “In the months previous, Peter joined the Masters in Public Policy degree offered at the University in Erfurt which is attended by students from all over the world, including some from closed countries. A number of Christian students have found one another and have begun praying for their classmates, but they've run into a problem. A number of those they are praying for have joined the prayer meeting, too! Lucy was one of those. “In an effort to connect with her and others, we threw a party. During the party I gave Lucy a Bible I had in her language. She couldn't believe that we would be giving this to her, and was so thankful for it. Two weeks later, Kristen and she were sitting in our living room reading the stories of Jesus together. After they had finished for the evening, she said, ‘How are people supposed to find out about Jesus if they don't have a Bible?’
“Lucy is currently in another city for a few more weeks, and we anticipate having her back in Erfurt. We are praying, that her hunger for knowing Jesus would grow; that Kristen would be led by the Spirit in relating to Lucy and for the hundreds of other international students in our area, many of whom don't have this opportunity. We are praying also for more workers to the Universities of Germany.”
