Saved! - the Movie
It is truly amazing to find out how people heard about the HopeLine and what cause them to call. Here is Jennifer's story of how she came to call last night. Jennifer decided to watch a movie with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend, who happened to be a hard core atheist, recommended the movie 'Saved'. Though I have not seen the movie I know that it is a satire on fundamental Christians portraying us in a pretty negative light. Well, as Jennifer watched this movie and its constant criticism of Christianity she began to feel convicted. The feeling grew the more she watched and when it was over conviction was upon her so heavily that she went to the internet and Googled 'Christian hotlines'. One of the first ones she came across was the HopeLine and, boldly, she called in telling the HopeCoach on the other end what had happened. She then started asked questions about Christianity and listened as the HopeCoach shared with her about Jesus Christ's great gift for an hour and a half. The HopeCoach knew she was serious about understanding Christianity when he realized that she was taking notes on what he was telling her. Jennifer did not give her heart to Christ last night, but, though I don't claim to know the future, I genuinely think that one day soon the Holy Spirit is going to bring her understanding and that she will be changed forever into a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. God's ways are so amazing! He is always at work! He used a movie mocking Christians to lead her to someone that could share the truth about Christ with her...I just cannot get over how much greater He is than he who is in the world!
