70% Atheist

I made this the title of this blog because this fact still astounds me. Growing up in the DFW area my whole life makes this an especially difficult concept to understand. Johann was talking with one of his students the other day about God and the student said, "I've never talked to anyone about God who actually believed there was a God." That simple statement just blows our minds and drives us to our knees.

What communism has done to millions of people all over eastern Europe is astonishing. I don't think communism will ever leave this people entirely. It will forever color their perceptions -- it is their history, part of who they are.

I'm not sure where I am going with this blog, except to say again how much this country needs your prayers -- how much Lucy needs your prayers.

I told you that last week I shared the complete gospel with Lucy and she was intrigued. She was intrigued not because she thought it the truth, but because she saw how much joy I had because of Jesus. She looked at me as if she had never seen that kind of joy. The heartbreaking part is that she really has probably never seen that joy. Unless she has had a conversation with a Christian which is highly unlikely, she has never before spoken to someone filled with the Spirit. I see Lucy again tomorrow and I cannot get the vision of her smiling face out of my head.

The gospel seed has been planted, please pray for it to grow and grow in Lucy. Pray that Lucy, who speaks 3 languages, who likes Spanish food, who likes to be at her grandmother's home, will know the love of Christ.
