Erika's name is in the Book of Life

Erika is a smiley, kind young lady that came to join our GCH family this summer. While our girls' home is already over-full, we were asked by another orphanage to take her.

Erika is 13 years old and is in 8th grade. She is hard working, thoughtful, and fun-loving. She's a joy to have around!

Two nights ago, after our evening devotion time, Erika approached George and I to ask us how to receive Jesus in her heart. After talking a while about it, George led Erika in the sinner's prayer, where she repented of her sins and asked Jesus to come and be the Lord of her life. It was a beautiful moment!

The Bible says that those who pray such a prayer, that their names are written in the Book of Life, and that we have the promise of spending eternity in heaven with the Lord. We're so pleased to know that Erika will be there with us!

Who are the people in your life whose names still aren't written in the Book of Life?... who don't yet have the promise of heaven?

Don't give up... keep praying, keep loving and keep showing them the way. God can and wants to save them... let's get busy and be a part of His plan!
