Barek is a North African who lives in France. He believes that life is ruined for “good people” because “bad people” are so selfish and mean. He recently entered into a conversation with a Christian and shared his thoughts. The two took some time to talk about what the Bible says. Barek read how God, because of His great love, is ready to forgive the repentant sinner because the price for sin was paid by Jesus. And he read how God will transform the heart of those who believe, giving them a desire for the things that please God. Barek said that he would think about what was shared with him. Five days later, he showed up at a church, believing that there was something holy and wholesome about the message he had heard. He left after a couple of songs, saying that his aunt was waiting for him, but he promised to keep in touch and to think about what was said. Pray that Barek’s heart will soften, that he will see how he has fallen short, and that he will put his trust in the Lord both for forgiveness and to be transformed by the power of the gospel.
