John refused the Gospel booklet that an ‘Every
Home for Christ’ worker offered him when he
answered a knock at the door. He was about to
slam it shut when his wife, Lydia, reached out and
took the booklet. John walked away in disgust, but
when the workers asked if there was anything they
could pray for, she thanked them and asked them
to pray for her husband who had a heart problem.
In bed that night, Lydia began reading the Gospel
booklet to herself. She was surprised when her
husband asked her to read it aloud, and even
more surprised when he kept asking her to re-read
the booklet, somehow fascinated by its message.
A few days later the EHC workers returned and
invited John and Lydia to church. By then the Holy Spirit had done His work. The
following Sunday John and Lydia made a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ,
repenting of their sins and committing their lives to Jesus, to trust and follow Him.
