Rianne prays with a Decision Follow-Up Worker, while her mother Diane looks on.

Diane’s prayers were answered on Sunday night, as her husband Jesse and her daughter Rianne both responded to the invitation. Rianne, age 8, prayed to receive Christ for the first time, while Jesse recommitted his life to the Lord.

Although the family is attending church, Diane said that things could be better.

“They’ve been going, but just going through the motions, not really with any growth there,” Diane said. “We get so busy and caught up in day to day stuff, and God needs to be our focus.”

Both Jesse and Rianne said there wasn’t any one thing that Pastor Greg said that convinced them to make the decision to come forward, but that it just felt like the right thing to do and the right time to do it. Please pray that this family will grow in its faith in the days and weeks ahead.

“I’ve been praying for this a long time,” Diane said. “It’s a really good feeling, and hopefully I can continue to minister to them and help them grow.”
