Spring 2018: Dayton, OH
This is the story of the cousin of one of our team members, in her own words. At the time we visited, she was a practicing atheist and had no interest in being part of her parents' church:
"Your girl friend that came to church that one night with you that talked to me...One night she talked to me...(and) she asked God for a word for me and God told her 'piano'. I was astonished, honestly, but I acted cool and stuff because I was still trying really hard to not believe in God. I don't know if you know this but, whenever I was being rebellious and mom dragged me to church, the only thing I really liked was running off after church and playing the grand piano after everyone left the sanctuary. Whenever I would do this, it made me like going to church and this was the closest I got to God. So, when she told me that, it was amazing because she said, 'God wants to tell you He loves you and He has a plan for you.' I made myself forget about it for a while but tonight I woke up and MAN THE HOLY SPIRIT HIT ME. And I remembered when she told me that. And that was just so amazing...Please tell your friend that her word was powerful and I am now a Christian."
