A young Nigerian lady has generated reactions on social media after recounting how she converted a young man who approached her on the street.
The experience was shared by Franca Iwuchukwu on her Facebook page. She explained that what began as a casual street encounter with a man who tried to woo her eventually turned into an opportunity to lead him to Christ.
Franca noted that she usually does not entertain unfamiliar men who try to speak to her while she is walking, as she considers it disrespectful. However, she said she felt led to respond differently this time.
“One thing I really don’t like is responding to unknown guys on the road while I’m walking… I see it as disrespectful. And honestly, God, please don’t let me unknowingly chase my future husband away because of ‘forming hard girl’ on the road,” she said.
After greeting him properly, she shifted the conversation to spiritual matters when he expressed interest in her.
“He started by saying he liked me and wanted us to be friends. I told him, ‘Do you know Jesus loves you more? Do you know you can be a friend of Jesus and enjoy every part of that relationship? He smiled and said he knows about Jesus, but he likes me, that’s why he was talking to me. Immediately I started talking about Jesus, he tried to change the topic by saying he loves me and already knows about Jesus. I asked him if he was a Christian. He said he attends a church. I asked again, Are you born again? He said he has given his life to Christ.” Franca stated.
According to her, the young man’s attitude changed as the conversation progressed, and he became more sober.
“At that point, he became very calm, with a broken heart and spirit. I asked if he was ready to genuinely give his life to Christ. He said yes. I asked him to say some words, he repeated the prayer after me. And I prayed with him. My dear… that was it. A new soul was won. Heaven rejoices.”
Franca added that she also took steps to help him grow spiritually by giving him a Bible and inviting him to church programs.
“He then told me he had never held a Bible before. I was shocked and asked, really? He said yes, that it was his first time. I smiled and told him I would get him a new one. After the service, I took him to the church protocol unit… On our way back, he said he really enjoyed the pastor’s preaching. I was so happy. God be praised!”
She further shared that his commitment to church activities sometimes surpassed hers due to her academic schedule.
“He even reminded me about the Tuesday and Thursday evening services and said he would attend. Imagine the person I invited to church becoming more serious than me! 😭 But I told him I might not always be available because of lectures. I also told him about vigils, programs, and Sunday services and promised to keep him informed.
My dear, this God is truly great,” she stated.
