Never?!

A call came in from California a few nights ago from a young girl in an abusive home. As with many of the abuse calls we get the HopeCoaches heart was broken over the girl's situation and the caller thought that their situation was completely normal. Our HopeCoach listened as the caller told her all about her abusive situation and several other things that the caller was dealing with. After hearing it all she had to tell this girl that there was an answer to all the issues in her life- Jesus. She asked the caller what she thought about Jesus and didn't get the normal response. The caller said, "Who?" Thinking that the caller didn't hear her, the HopeCoach said, "Jesus, you know, God's son." The caller again expressed complete confusion. "Are you telling me you have never even heard of Jesus or God at all?" the HopeCoach said surprised. The caller wondering what the big deal was said that she truly had not heard of this God or Jesus. Our HopeCoach, like most any American, became very skeptical and began to think this was all a joke so she pressed a little harder and actually said, "Never heard of God? Are you from America?". The caller calmly said no and explained that her family had just moved to America from Guam. Well, the HopeCoach was obviously a little embarrassed but did not shrink from this incredible opportunity to share the wonderful story of Jesus with a girl for the very first time. When she had finished the caller was elated at this good news and when asked whether she wanted to pray to become a child of God and be forgiven of her sins she said yes with no hesitation whatsoever. Afterwards, we were able to send this caller the very first Bible she had even seen. Praise God!!!
