I can't begin to tell you how great a relief this is. But let me start somewhere near the beginning.......He started to go to church with us around the end of November and before that I had been telling him about God and what he had done in my life. So he became interested and asked if he could start coming to the morning service with us. So we picked him up every Sunday morning and brought him along to Sunday school and the morning service. And for Christmas my family bought him a bible (which he is almost halfway through already:jump:) Anyway a few weeks ago I asked him if he had thought about being saved at all and he said he wasn't sure yet be that he had been thinking about it. And a kind of funny thing that happened was that ton the 31 my pastor prayed that God would convect any unsaved person and break them to the point that they would realize how much they need to be saved. After that my poor guy wasn't able to sleep for a week because I really do believe that God was working in his heart letting him know that God was watching out for him and wanted him. So yesterday we had a missionary family come to our church telling us about their plans to go to Ecuador (pray for the Duvall family by the way) and Mr. Duvall was telling us some stories and experiences. Then he started to preach salvation and he said if you hadn't asked Christ into your heart "What are you waiting for?" that really got to him and after the service he was lead to the Lord. How awesome is that! but please pray for him, his name again is Dylan and this is still new to him but he's loving it. GOD IS SO GREAT!!!!Awesome News!!!

Oh wow, that's totally awesome! It's always great to hear people getting saved, but I think it's especially great when they're young like that. It means that he won't have to be alone in all his decisions and stuff...that's just so cool! I'm glad to hear it, especially if he is your boyfriend. I'll keep him in my prayers and hope everything works out well with his relationship wtih the Lord. ^^

Praise God! That's amazing! I pray he finds a Godly older man to mentor him as he begins his walk with the Lord.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

That's awesome news. It's always great to hear that another sould has been won over to the Lord.
I'll be praying for him and his newfound faith, that it flourishes.
