Teaching in Michigan, USA
I had an experience
where, one day, we left our apartment and ventured out on our bikes. The first
person I saw was someone at the bus stop. We rode past her, but felt that we
needed to stop and say hi. We stopped, shared a card, talked, and at the end we
prayed with her and got a return appointment. I taught her once after that, but
got transferred [ to another area].
Three months later, I
got to attend her baptism. As I walked in, she threw her arms around me and,
with tears in her eyes, said, “Thank you for everything! You have been the
biggest part in my salvation.” It was one little contact at the bus stop, one
little lesson and prayer can change a person’s life.
Remember what you say
today. You might forget, but the recipient might remember it for a lifetime. I
know that Satan wants us to be afraid. He wants us to fear, but as I have built
my belief in God and trust in Him, it has made the difference. Just believe and
all will be alright.
