For months, Sarah had been praying and searching. She was part of a discipleship group, eager to see God use her to make disciples, but she often felt like she was running into a wall. Every time she tried to share her faith, it seemed like the people around her weren’t interested. She longed for what Jesus promised in Luke 10—a person of peace—but she couldn’t seem to find one.

That’s when she met a young mom at her child’s school. Their friendship began simply, but Sarah kept praying that God would open a door. One day, the woman broke down in tears, confessing that she had just chosen to follow Jesus but didn’t know where to start. She said she was desperate for a Bible study. Sarah could hardly believe it. After so many months of searching, here was her person of peace.

She welcomed the woman into her weekly Bible study with other ladies, and for a time things went well. But one week the friend missed the group, so Sarah visited her at home. They caught up for a while, and Sarah prepared to begin the Bible study right there in the living room. Her friend’s husband, Matt, was sitting nearby. He wasn’t a believer, and at first Sarah wasn’t sure whether to include him.

But then she remembered the Waha app she had recently downloaded. On impulse, she opened it and asked what topic they should study. To her surprise, Matt spoke up right away: “Hope.”

They pressed play and began the story. Sarah’s heart leapt as Matt leaned in—not just listening, but answering the questions, wrestling with the truths, and engaging fully. At the end of the study, the last question came: “When would you like to meet again?” And without hesitation, Matt said he wanted to continue.

Sarah had gone in expecting to encourage one woman. Instead, she found herself standing in the middle of something far bigger: God was stirring an entire household. The woman who longed to make disciples but couldn’t find a person of peace suddenly realized she wasn’t just discipling one person. She was watching a family take their first steps toward Jesus.

For Sarah, it was confirmation of God’s faithfulness. When she thought her prayers had gone unanswered, He was quietly preparing the way.
