Alana, a student at Virginia Tech, and Spencer, who attends JMU, had never seriously considered faith. Alana had grown up around Christianity, but without believing family members, it had never been a significant part of her life. Spencer, on the other hand, had simply never learned much about God. Their biggest obstacle to faith wasn’t resistance—it was a lack of awareness. Yet, both were open, full of questions, and eager to understand more.
When we met them, they were curious but uncertain. As we shared the Gospel, we explained that following Jesus isn’t about rules or rituals—it’s about a relationship. They were surprised to learn that accepting Him was as simple as a sincere prayer from the heart. After thinking it over, they both knew they were ready. In an incredible moment, we led them in prayer, and right then and there, Alana and Spencer gave their lives to Jesus!
Afterward, we spent time talking about what it truly means to live for and with Jesus—not just to believe in Him, but to walk with Him daily. We encouraged them in their new faith journey, offering resources, guidance, and prayer. Their story is just beginning, and we’re excited to see how God will continue working in their lives!
