Word of Life Bible Institute Yearbook 2020

Elaina Silvestri

I am seeing God work in my own life as He makes me bolder with the gospel. I used to be so scared to share my faith that I wouldn’t even feel comfortable playing worship music in public. However, God has taken hold of my heart and made me unashamed of Him. He has placed me in situations where I can be a light and is teaching me to sacrifice the opinions of others for the sake of His Word.

Severe tornadoes destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses in my city on Easter. Thankfully there was no damage to my home except the power being out for a week. So many lost their homes, lives and essentials. My church has sent out groups almost every day to help with yard work, moving and asking what people need and then providing it for them. I’ve been able to hug and pray with so many people it’s incredible. God is working here, and many are trusting Him some for the first time.

My unsaved friend reached out to me because she has a dream that had Jesus in it and knew that I was a Christian and wanted to know what it meant. I have been sharing the gospel with her for 15 years, as long as we have known each other. I was able to suggest that she read the book of John and let me know what she thought. She was very excited to do so and said she had been wanting to read the Bible. I have been praying for her that the Holy Spirit convicts her heart of how much she needs Jesus.

God has been doing some incredible things here at home through this virus. While being at home, I had the opportunity to have a great platform and share my redemption story to present the gospel through social media and my local church. I’ve also had the opportunity to call thirty church families every week to check up on them to see how they are doing through this virus, including seven widows. While being home, I’ve also had the opportunity to build a greater and deeper relationship with my family.

I’ve seen God work in the lives of my friends and the girls in my discipleship group! I’ve had really good conversations with my friends about their walk with the Lord, and have been able to encourage them in areas that they are struggling. I’ve also been able to keep in contact with young girls from my church via Zoom! Sharing verses with them about creation and explaining how God shows Himself to us through creation was so cool to hear their response and amazement at our Creator!
