Hallelujah! I am so glad that God finally answered my prayer!

I have a person ( I call her "grandma") who raised me since I was born in Korea.
She's my mom's aunt which means she's my grandma's younger sister.
She is a person who has gone through so much in her life. You know how they escaped from North Korea during the Korean war and got settled in Seoul, stuff like that... (yeh.. she lost several kids during the Korean war.)
She has not been to church in so long, even though all of our family is Christian.

I have been praying for her since I was in college, but it was not that easy to talk to her about christianity because she had so many specific reasons why she does not want to go there...

But i did not give it up!!
I started to talk to her over the phone even if it costs so much to make a long distance call from the states.
After talking with her on the phone numerous times, she said she would start going to church. Now i don't worry about the phone bills! I just hope that as she goes she may have a real encounter with Jesus. I want her to go to heaven just like my actual grandma.

When I go to Korea this summer, i am going to bring my father in law's sermon tapes to her and I am planning to get her a cell phone so that i can call her from here anytime i want. ( She will be living by herself starting end of this month so she will be very lonely!)
I also know that i still need to pray for her as she goes to church. Please pray for my grandma for her faith.
