One by one, the members of my family attended the renewal seminar in our community and were soon converted to Christianity, except one ---- my father.
He was not happy about our conversion for he raised us as Buddhists. We tried our best to witness to our father, but he was firm in his belief. I shared this burden with my spiritual elder and she told me to continuously pray for him and claim the promise in 1 Timothy 2:3-4, that God wills everyone to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
When my father was hospitalized because of cancer, my uncle invited a Chinese pastor to minister to him, yet he still refused. One early morning, as I was praying the rosary, he looked at me, and I approached him. The Lord inspired me to lead him to a repentance prayer and ask him to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord. A few hours later, he passed away. I sincerely believe that He is with the Lord now, and for that I thank God.
Today, let us sincerely pray for our loved ones, co-workers, friend and even enemies who haven't encountered the Lord yet. Let us do so until they experience the love and saving power of our Lord Jesus Christ.
