After I got saved, I prayed for a fairly long time and asked the Lord to allow me at least one close realitive to have a relationship with from my old life and family. I told the Lord that I really didn't know if I could make it the rest of my life without a least one old family member in my life just to help feel intergrated psychologically. My old life didn't seem real at times... more like a movie. I didn't like that feeling. Was very destabilizing.
I met a young man on the internet and shared the real word of God with him here and there. I met with him and led him to the Lord within a two hour lunch. Turns out my brother was one of the elders at the Hall he grew up in. His dad was also an elder there. He knew my nephew well.
I asked him to contact my nephew and share his experience. He did and a few months later my nephew and I met for lunch and he accepted the Lord's offer within a two hour lunch as well. A couple of years later he ended up moving to the same town as me.
The gospel message conquored the world's largest empire. There is power in the blood.
