This story was inspired by my encounter with Cyndi Young.

In 2008, she called the church to speak with a pastor. When I spoke to her, she told me that she worked with people who attended 12Stone. She wanted me to tell them to "stop praying for her." She said she wasn't interested in church and declared she was involved with WICCA and making other destructive lifestyle choices.

Over the next couple of months we spoke, and I listened. We met for discussion over coffee almost weekly. She clearly had her defenses up and her attitude engaged. However, once she saw I wasn't going to "bail" on her, she began opening up.

A major breakthrough occurred when Cyndi admitted that she had questions but didn't want to look stupid. Once I gave her permission to ask anything she wanted to and assured her there were no stupid questions, she just beamed! Three years later and 50+ years old, she is still asking questions and growing into the beautiful person God created her to be.

This journey of questions has led Cyndi to accepting God's love through Christ and God's call to a future as a full-time missionary. She leaves in 2012 to carry God's Kingdom to His children in Bolivia.
