wonders of wonders!

Several weeks ago, as part of the ground school training we went downtown Kansas City and did some street evangelism. This was a stretching experience for me-- the Lord really had to do a work in me to build the courage for be to approach folks with the good news of Jesus. But He did it. I remember walking and walking and just mentally reviewing the gospel in my head to remind me so that I would have a desire to share...the streets were pretty empty that night. I remember praying that the Lord would make it obvious who I should talk to... and then I turned the corner and there was a bus stop. I sat down, and within a few minutes a man from Honduras sat down, and I was able to talk to him about Jesus. He was a joy to talk to- very hungry, and was interested... I could talk to him for hours... I had to pull away that night from the conversation because our teams were leaving at a certain time--- so I said farewell.

This morning I went to the farmers market- and low and behold, there he was playing his guitar in the streets at the market! My friend Jenny and I talked with him for awhile, and he asked if he could come to church with us... so pray for him that he would come, and that he would grow to know Jesus. He knows alot of information about Jesus, and the bible, but I'm fairly certain from our conversations that the love of Jesus hasn't been made real to him. So pray for him to come, and for the students and folks that will be interacting with him hopefully long term during our time here in KC.
