Meet Jordan: A 19-year medical student whose family lives two houses down from ours. Jordan's family is Catholic (as are the majority of the people we come into contact with). Two years ago, Jordan spent the whole summer talking with me (Ronald) about questions he had about God, and expressing a desire to know Him in a deeper way. Jordan ended up giving his life to the Lord that summer, but a few short weeks later, he had to leave to go to college in a town about six hours away. To be honest, I felt discouraged because I had spent so much time with the young people in our neighborhood and in the end, I thought it was in vain, because they all left or were forbidden by their parents from spending time with us because we were Christians.
Well, about a month and a half ago, someone knocked on our door. It was Jordan, and the change in his life is incredible. He is so in love with Jesus and it's evident that he has a close relationship with Him. He has started his own band and composes Latin American songs about life with Jesus. He has completed two years of his medical degree and he has told us that he talks about Jesus to many of the patients he encounters. Jordan has since gone back to where he is living and going to school, but we are looking forward to continuing a relationship with him in the future.
