Kenzie also learnt that it was through Laura&#8217;s mum&#8217;s faith that she had initially become curious; her mum is a Christian, but she is currently living on the other side of the world in New Zealand.<\/p><p>Laura initially started out by exploring Buddhism, but she told Kenzie, &#8220;Buddhism touched my heart but wasn&#8217;t able to fully reach my heart.&#8221; She just felt like something was still missing; whilst she liked the wisdom she perceived in Buddhism, it was never able to fully grasp her heart.\u00a0<span>She realised that Jesus is the only one who can persistently offer her hope. &#8220;It was obvious Jesus was trying to get my attention,&#8221; she explained to Kenzie.<\/span><\/p><p>The following week, Kenzie invited Laura to join her in going to her church, and Laura got to experience church for the first time ever! She was curious throughout the church service, asking questions like: \u201cWhy are people lifting their hands?\u201d and when Communion was being given out, \u201cWhat are they giving out?

After she learnt what it was, she was excited to take the bread and the wine, and she even lifted her hands during worship as well!<\/p><p>After thinking about Laura&#8217;s story and how she got in touch with them, Kenzie is encouraged by the impact that the Agap\u00e9 UK Students London team is making on social media. &#8220;We put in a lot of hard work and effort, and we&#8217;re realising that the results are often bigger than we can see,&#8221; Kenzie reflects. Laura was able to find the London team on Instagram and send a simple message.<\/p><p>&#8220;Even as you talk about your faith on your own social media,&#8221; Kenzie continues, &#8220;you are creating an openness for other people to reach out who may need someone to do the Christian life with. Those that need Jesus and may not have been followers of Him before, can now click that &#8216;follow&#8217; or &#8216;like&#8217; button, and it could change their life and bring them the community they need.
