Another person I made it a point to visit to see how they were doing spiritually was a fairly mature believer Kristina, Mario’s older sister. It is always a joy to visit with her as she has good spiritual things to share from her own perspective. She is in her late 30’s early 40’s has a 14 year old daughter and adopted another girl who is 3-4 now. We hadn’t seen her in 6 months and I wanted to hear how things had been going for her and where she felt she was in her spiritual life with Christ. She shared for a while as I listened and then at the end of her sharing she shared this prayer request.
“Barry, you know how I am a person who often likes to share the gospel with people that come to buy my chicken or with a neighbor. You know that’s what I do. I feel like this last year that desire has grown weak and I want to ask you to please pray to our Father for Him to give me that strong desire back again to share the gospel where ever I am.”
So I invite you to be praying for her in this till we hear that she is faithfully back at it again.

Hi Barry and Denise — I’m sure there may be details you left out, but from what you say here it would appear Kristina is living in open and unconfessed sin. Dealing with that sin would appear to be the first step in returning Kristina’s desire back to sharing the Gospel.
