Today was a good day.
A few months ago during our Wednesday night Bible study, a young lady pulled into our parking lot with steam coming out from under the hood of her car. We were in the midst of a devotional when Bull, a Lake Merced staff member, looked out the window and noticed someone was having car trouble.
That someone was Sonia – a college student.
Bull went out to meet her, invited her in to use the phone, and the Lake Merced members listened to her story and offered comfort in the midst of crisis. She was shortly thereafter introduced to our college ministry, and began attending our church. After taking her out to lunch and having her over for dinner a couple of times, Bible studies followed, and the rest is history.
Check out what she had to say today:
Awesome.
God had been working on Sonia’s heart even before she met us. While what happened with her car was an accident, I don’t believe it was an accident she was introduced to the Lake Merced Church that day in August.
Airiel and I with our new sister, Sonia
We can’t wait to see what God is going to do with Sonia!
Today was a good day!
The Overflow 
Congratulations! It is encouraging to see how God uses his people to introduce others to him. It is a team effort to both teach and keep those that are baptized into Christ. Bull, you, Airiel, others in the college group and then the whole church that makes Sonia feel welcome and accepted. God bless you all!
Praise God!! I want to welcome Sonia to our family and thank you and Airiel for the great work you’re doing for the Kingdom.
God bless you,
Joy
Awesome and praise be to God!!!
Sonia,
It’s great having a new sister in California. Best wishes and blessings from your brother in Brownwood Texas. I am excited too, and look forward to hearing of your growth in Gods kingdom. Welcome to the Family of God!
Your Brother in Christ,

Wes, I am convinced that God will do whatever it takes to get our attention. He did in Sonia’s life, yours, and mine. I praise God with you for His using you and others there to sahre the love of Christ. Blessings, Anthony
