Praying for some of my friend’s salvation is part of my prayer to God every night. Sometimes it seems like nothing is happening, but I still continue praying to Him as I know that he has better plans. Sometimes it becomes very frustrating when my prayers are not answered or when my friends do not want to come to church with me after repeated invitations, which I have to humble myself just to ask them to join me for a church service.

On Tuesday night, my friend Wee Hong, whom I met through bowling, messaged me telling me that he was interested to come to my church as he was free. On hearing this, I was really glad as I have ask him to come to church for quite some time. I was really excited that God finally answered my prayer after four months. I told him to meet me at the train station on Sunday morning so that I could bring him to church and hopefully share the gospel with him.

However, God also blessed two of my other friends that I prayed for. One of them who is my junior in secondary school is currently attending Church of Singapore (Bukit Timah) with one of his friend who invited him there. He told me that he finally found a church to settle in and I am really thankful for that.

Also, another friend whom I prayed for told me that he believe in Jesus about a month ago. However, I am still praying for him as he does not attend church. I am really very delighted to see God working in many of my friend’s lives and I hope that the other friends that I am praying for will soon come to know Christ. To God be the glory.
