Kathleen's Story

We met Kathleen when the UCLA team was here. Even after just spending a few minutes with her, it was clear that the Lord intentionally led us to her. She was just so curious about everything: why there were so many Americans around and why we traveled all that distance, what Student Life is and why we exist, and just about Christianity in general. She started coming to everything that we put on, including Catalyst, our weekly Bible discussion group. It was clear from her comments at Catalyst that she was thinking pretty seriously about this whole Christianity thing, so Jenny (one of my teammates) started going through a CE with her. A few weeks into the CE she decided to place her trust in Christ (It was actually pretty classic how we found out... Erin noticed that Kathleen had changed her religious views on facebook to Christian. Jenny asked her about it later and they had a good chat about it. I guess that's doing ministry in the social networking era for ya! :)

Kathleen has been growing ever since; she's gotten involved in a church and still comes around to everything we do. It's been so fun to watch her grow and not shy away from asking the hard questions that come along with being a believer. She is even already asking questions about how she can best minister to her friends and family. Please be praying for her that her roots would continue to be planted deep!!
