Recently Saved Friend Interview (Luke Stoltzfoos)

Kate said she came to know christ through a combination of things.She's had a life of her Grandmother taking her to Easter, christmas, etc., services. Vacation Bible School has played a big role in her journey, too, since she attended every summer for over 5 years. She attended a bible study every Tuesday for a long time as well, which seemed to be the single thing that strengthened her the most in Christ. She still remembers at least one specific topic that the study had included, even though it was 4 years ago. This was what helped her finally get over that line and get interested in being on fire for God (I believe she still has some work on that, but she's making progress from what I can tell). The greatest advantage she sees from becoming a follower of Christ is that she now had guidlines and structure, to which I mentioned and she agreed that we all need structure to live healthy lifestyles. She had another great answer for the next question: "maybe studying...I have a hard time doing that". This was, of course, answering what was hardest for her in following Christ. She very nicely said that my family and I have been the thing that's helping her grow the most. Relationships with healthy and stable Christians (not necessarily describing me) are, to me, clearly what is best for growth, besides a relationship with God. The last question was the most exiting for me. She said that someone like me should start advertising youth group in our school, as well as possibly start a group that meets in between school and sports practices, which would be 2:30-300pm. I was really impressed by this and I thought with her organizational skills she could definetly be plugged in well with almost any ministry. I can't wait to see the response of what she does in the future.
