praise & faithfulness

I never got around to blogging the night this happened, but I would like to share a quick (amaaaazing) story of a typical Tuesday night here in North Myrtle.

The last week that staff was here, I was fortunate enough to go out sharing/evangelizing with Jen Schad. This lady is such an encouragement and she has such a passion & love for the Lord that is absolutely apparent. Hence, why I was so pumped to go out sharing with her to soak in that passion and see what I could learn from her.

We drove to Barefoot Landing (outside mall area) and began walking around, pretty unsuccessfully getting any conversations started. We initiated about five or six conversations, being rejected, and really thinking the night would be a very small victory if one at all. Then, by chance, we decided to stop three teenagers walking out of an alligator store. To our surprise, these three teens, Max, Grant, & Teresa, were completely into taking our five-question survey and even more interested in hearing about the Gospel.

Jen & I were able to go through the entire booklet (KGP) and it was really cool to see these three truly understand and discuss each point with us. Many times the people we talk with simply give one-two word answers, but when people are asking you questions back, you know they are engaged and interested in understanding. After explaining the decision to trust Christ with your life and the responsibilities and joys that come along with it, ALL three decided they wanted to pray to receive Christ!!! (Sidenote: I had not seen anyone come to Christ before this night, so I was PUMPED!) Jen & I said the prayer out loud with them, and we exchanged email addresses, hoping to encourage the two college sophomores (and one high school senior) to seek out Campus Crusade within their campuses.

Praise the Lord, for when you ask for Him to use you....He answers!!
