A church in Latin America was hosting a discipleship training for its members. One Sunday, a couple in the church brought their daughter, Brisa, to the training. Brisa was not a believer and was only in town to visit her parents that weekend.
During the training, the class participants practiced sharing a gospel presentation with each other. One participant asked Brisa if she could practice sharing the gospel with her. Brisa agreed and listened as this church member explained Jesus’ love and sacrifice.
As Brisa heard the gospel, she began to cry, realizing her need for a Savior. The class participant then asked Brisa if she wanted to receive Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Through tears and sobs, Brisa nodded her head. Her parents embraced her and wept with her. When the church realized what happened, the congregation gathered in a circle and prayed for their new sister in Christ.
“‘In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.'” -Luke 15:10
