Yesterday, I listened again to the salvation story of Dr Yonggi Cho.
He was a pastor in South Korea, whom God used to impact millions of people in Korea and many millions more all around the world.
He got to hear the gospel because a schoolgirl took the time to visit his home daily on her way back from school.
He did not receive her message immediately but she persisted and demonstrated the love of God. He was just 17 years old and he was dying!
She was not eloquent, but she shared as much as she knew. When he agreed to follow Jesus, she gave him her Bible and instructed him to read it starting from Matthew.
The Holy Spirit did the rest.
He got saved and healed (although the manifestation of the healing took some time)!
Disciple-making starts with sowing the seed of the gospel, but it does not end there.
Don’t give up. Keep sowing the seeds.
I can imagine that the schoolgirl spoke to many people every day and maybe just Yonggi Cho responded positively to her message.
Even that one was well worth all her effort.
Blessings,
