Eric is a nine-year-old Jewish boy who has been coming to the Bible classes since he was very young. He comes from a broken home and has lived in many areas.
Despite these “setbacks” Eric loves the Lord and tells others about Him. He witnesses to his classmates and tells them he no longer wants to be bad “because it won’t please God.”
One Friday evening, Eric was waiting for the van to bring him to the service. In the hall of his apartment building stood a young Jewish man of about 20, who noticed that Eric was carrying a Bible. He asked Eric where he was going, and when he heard, he thought that he too would like to attend the Bible study. He said he had been waiting to meet someone, but they hadn’t shown up. So Eric invited him to come along.
God had already prepared his heart, because after the message he went up to one of the Christian workers, himself a converted Jew, and kneeling down with him prayed asking the Lord to come into his heart.
We can pray for this young man that he will come out faithfully and grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
