\u201cMiss O.\u201d grew up as a devout Buddhist in Southeast Asia and had never heard the gospel. When God brought Christians into her life, Miss O. would nod her head, \u201cyes, yes,\u201d in agreement to the stories they shared but continued as an even more determined Buddhist.<\/p>\n
One day Miss O. prayed, \u201cThey say you are the Living God. If that\u2019s true, give me a new pair of jeans tomorrow.\u201d The very next day, Miss O.\u2019s father said, \u201cI know what you want\u2014a new pair of jeans. Let\u2019s go shopping.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was as if God said, \u201cIf you need jeans to know I am the Living God, I will give them, and you will know I am Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later, another believer said, \u201cAll of our good deeds are like a pot of fermented bamboo shoots before God.\u201d The Lord used this to convict her of sin and her need for a Savior. She wept and put her faith in Jesus.<\/p>\n
For several years, Miss O. was the only believer in her village. She is a gifted and eager evangelist, loves the Word, and has a solid faith and doctrine. She prayed God would use her to reach her village. God answered when Miss O. led her neighbor to Christ. The neighbor shared with her husband who also came to faith.<\/p>\n
These three now follow the Lord, meet weekly as a church, and live out their faith. The “blue-jean-giving” God [is] now worshiped every week in this village\u2019s first church.<\/p>\n
Pray for Miss O. and [the other believers] as they share the gospel with their neighbors.<\/p>\n
