Greg asked me yesterday to share the story with him. I told him it was kind of long and I would try to give him the shortened version. He said, 'No, I want the whole story." So I told him the whole story. About 5-10 minutes after the story, he looked over at me with tears in his eyes and said to me, "I want to pray that prayer, would you pray the sinners prayer with me, I want to know that I'm saved, and that it is for real." My heart leaped into my throat and said of course!
We bowed our heads and we prayed together, him repeating after me. I was fighting back the tears as I looked back up at him. He looked so peaceful! He is saved! Meet our new brother in Christ! :)

This was taken immediately after he prayed.
Thank you all for praying for Greg.
Please don't stop!

OH THE TEARS WON'T STOP! Kristy you are such a treasure to behold. God is using you in such powerful ways. I can't wait to read the book about you. GOD is Glorified by you! I want that same humble heart my sister. Blessings to you and to Greg. I know the LORD has an amazing plan for Greg!!! And he is surely blessing the socks off of you and your ministry!! I am so very grateful to our LORD for bringing us together. HE IS SO GOOD!!
Kristin!!!!!! I'm waiting for the book, too. You have found your "story" and it's pouring through and out of you. Who would have thought that YOUR pain with a prodigal would all be redeemed by bringing homeless prodigals HOME to Him!!!! I'm sitting here with tears of joy and I see God smiling saying, "See????? I told you so!" My song for the day? "To God be the Glory, Great things He hath done!"
OH!!! How my heart leaped for joy when I read this! And tears came to my eyes! PRAISE GOD! I will continue to pray!
Yay!!!!! Praise the Lord!!! I am smiling and full of joy!!! Will continue to keep praying for him!!!
To God be the Glory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at the way He is letting your light shine so brightly!!
God is so good. . .what a Savior!
There's rejoicing in Heaven right now! Praise God!!! This is so awesome, thanks for sharing it with us, Kristin!
May God bless you for letting God use use you in Greg's life. What an incredible story. I am praying now for Greg as he has begun his journey as a child of God.
I am Praising GOD with you Kristin!! Best news I've heard in a long time. HE does amazing and awesome things!!!

amazing Kristin – amazing. We all know that it's God who does the saving – but if we don't say the words – if we don't share the gospel – if you weren't so brave – this may never of happened – and it certainly wouldn't of happened now. God bless you and your faithfulness – job well done! Well done!
Praise God! I am praying for you and this new ministry of yours.. what fruit it is yielding already!
God bless your generous and loving heart Kristin!
Hugs from over the seas
My heart is warmed by all of you rejoicing with me. Yes, it is God who saves, I've seen God working on this man over the last month. It was such a privelege to get to share this special day with Greg. I went back today to talk about baptism and he is going to come to my church to be baptized this coming Sunday :)
As Cora said. . .To God be the glory, great things He hath done!!!
Rejoice! I can only imagine the celebration going on in not only your hearts but in heaven as well during this blessed time of Greg's discovery; praise God! My heart is smiling Kristin; I love the glow on both your faces! :)

Hallelujah! Oh, Kristin, this is so awesome! I was praying for Greg yesterday. I thought this was coming. How could he not know Jesus with you spending time with him? Praise the Lord for you. Praying more for Greg. Blessings to you both!
Dear Heavenly Father: Thank You so much for Kristin and the person You've made and grown her to be. Thank You for her heart in sharing You with others. I pray Your continued blessings upon her and her ministry. Thank You for Greg and his asking Your Son into his heart. I pray, Father, for Greg's baptism and growth in You. Place a hedge of protection around him and fill him with Your peace so he won't become discouraged but, instead, come to know You more fully every day. In Your name I pray, Amen.
Your post brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. Beautiful, Kristin. Thank you for stepping out and listening to the Holy Spirit. Lives are being forever changed.
Kristen,
What a beautiful moment, and what a joy to be able to be an extension of God's hand in life of another. What a blessing!
I found your blog today through another woman's blog. I am new to the world of blogging, and I can resonate with God "suddenly" calling you to write. Recently He has placed this on my heart, and I feel like I don't even know what I am doing. I started my new blog as a place to begin and to step out in obedience to God's call. I have been praying for God's guidance in this new leading in my life. I am enjoying my blog immensely, but I realize there is so much that I don't know.
Do you have any advice or wise counsel for me as I get started in this new venture?
Thanks,
Jen
