More about Drake

PRESS RELEASE

CHINA. A young Chinese man who outright resisted the efforts of a Christian
volunteer to share Christ is now leading others to the Savior.

"Don't talk to me about God!" Those were the words that Drake*, a young
Chinese man, emphatically uttered to a Christian teacher the first time that
she tried to offer a gentle witness.

The next day at lunch, he broached the subject by mentioning that he had
read the Bible previously, but "it didn't make sense." Then he stated that
he was going to read it again.

Later that week, Drake had opportunity to watch the Jesus film.

The volunteer's trip ended and she returned to the U.S. with thanksgiving
for that which she had experienced, but with a burden for the young man who
had resisted her witness.

A few days later, Drake told another Christian worker that he had prayed for
Jesus to enter his heart! Thrilled at this news, the Christian invited him
to a discipleship session.

Drake showed up with a friend who had also seen the Jesus film. That night
she too asked Jesus to enter her heart. Drake arrived at the second
discipleship session with another friend in tow, and she also accepted
Christ into her heart.

On the fourth evening of discipleship, Drake brought three other friends and
two classmates. By the end of the evening, there were five more believers.

As the pattern of evangelism, discipleship, and church planting continues,
one is reminded that even though the volunteer teacher wasn't there to reap
the harvest, she most certainly was a part of the seed sowing that has
resulted in lives changed for eternity.
