Invite Week: Investigating the Invitation

Campus: James Madison University National Invitation Week

I first met Alex last year when her friends from her sorority would bring her to our Greek IV large group. We realized we had a lot of common interests (rock climbing, running, books, etc.) so by the beginning of this semester we started hanging out on a regular basis. Because we love the same books we got to talking about our all-time favorite books and I mentioned that I love to read the Bible. She looked at me weird and said, “really? I have never even opened up a Bible before.” Alex then began explaining that she did not believe in God and did not think the Bible was relevant. When we got together the next week I brought some novels that I loved for her to borrow, along with a Bible. She then asked me if I would help her begin to read the Bible because she realized that her sisters and people at large group were always “positive.”

Since then we have been meeting weekly for a GIG (Greeks investigating God). Last week I invited her to become a Christian after she told me she was beginning to understand God, starting to pray, and even seeing God answer her prayers. Alex was not sure about completely submitting her life to God because, “most Christians I know do it half-way and I don’t want to do that. If I am going to become a Christian I want to do it 100% and I still don’t know how.” Alex is continuing her journey but I know that she is going to become a Christian, and I even invited her to do it again this week. God is working in her life–pray with me that he would continue to reveal himself to her in ways that she cannot deny!
