Our first visit was at a hair salon. The person we came to see was not there. I noticed a woman watching us intently from the back room. I asked the folks up front if she was a believer and they weren't sure, so we invited her to speak with us. One man's testimony was shared with her, and she turned out to be someone who was struggking with her faith.
The second mornng stop was at a home where three people prayed for forgiveness and eternal life in Jesus Christ.
This afternoon I stopped on the way back from an unexpectedly long walk to the grocery store at lunch time and approached a man who was sitting at a table outside a restaurant. He looked like he was in need spiritually. Ater introductions, I asked him if he was a Christian and he said yes. I asked him what church and he said Jehovah's Witness. I invited him to the service that night at our church, but I didn't feel that it was likely that he would come. As we were leaving the church service that night a woman I didn't really recognize came up to me and pointed out that the man we had invited to church had come to the service and had come forward during the invitation. I looked and saw him being counseled by another man from our church. It was such a joy to see God working in someone's heart and moving them to respond to the gospel where I didn't even expect anything to happen!
