Paul and Godspace at Big Break

On Tuesday night Paul went out with some UCONN students to share the gospel. The group prayed a few times to connect with spring breakers and didn't see anyone really respond.. a bit discouraged they went to the Waffle House and "hung out"; while hanging out.. God Space (relational space for spiritual content) was created as they sat and talked amongst themselves. One of the UCONN students named Becky had a ton of reservations about the week and even more specifically why things weren't biblical.. like why is it really "wrong" to get drunk.. what's the big deal? Paul came over for lunch on Thursday and he told us the story of creating space for God to uncover what it was in Becky's heart.. she hadn't really trusted Jesus with her life! What ended up happening was Paul and the other UCONN students went through the Knowing God Personally with Becky.. at first she was embarrassed and didn't want to "do the prayer" with the group. But later that night she went on the balcony and cried.. and told Jesus she desired to know him and read the prayer! Paul engaged with someone who said "I'm a christian" and yet wasn't completely surrendered.. and he used God Space to engage and see someone trust Christ!
