Helga — Sharing the Gospel at Age 72
The Today devotional has prompted Helga to share God’s Word.
After reading a Today devotional that encouraged people to share their faith, Helga was inspired to fill her shopping bags with Christian literature and pass it along to others as the Lord prompted her.
That was four years ago. At the time, Helga contacted Back to God Ministries International to offer her appreciation for the Today devotional and to provide a look at her life in Germany.
Recently, Helga wrote BTGMI again and shared more about herself and her faith.
“I grew up without any Christian education, but since the death of my dear mom – she was only 36 – I became interested in Jesus and the Bible,” she says.
At the time of her mother’s death, Helga was corresponding with a girl in the United States who was a Christian.
“I know now that she was praying for me,” says Helga. “God answered her prayers, and at the age of 23 I was born again.” Helga has deeply appreciated receiving the Today devotional produced by ReFrame Media, the English outreach of Back to God Ministries International. “The Today is continually an inspiration to me. From the beginning, I had the longing to pass on to others the message of the gospel.”
In fact, Helga has stepped out in faith to share Jesus with immigrants, many of them Muslims.
More recently, she said, the Lord has led her to share the gospel in an area dominated by drug dealers and addicts.
“I am 72 now and I am still evangelizing,” she says. “The drug dealers hate me, but God is protecting me.”
