English term or phrase: God worked on him
This is in the "personal background" section of a letter of reference for an individual:

"He attended college in California and graduated in 2003. From 2003 to 2007 he worked as a youth pastor in his church. During that time, a music group [name] came to their church each year. He was taken by this group and states that "God really worked on him" to step outside his comfort level and move to [name of city] where he would subsequently work with the group for three years."
