Hanging out at cafes is such a great way to share the Word with people. We go out with expectation that the Lord will connect us with people according to His will. Last week was especially interesting, and very moving. No sooner had we arrived when Don saw a lady with a shirt that had something about church printed on it. After the two of them got talking, Don invited the lady and her hsuband to join us at our table. They were very happy to, and it turned into an amazing hour-long conversation.

The couple were on their way home from a marriage retreat weekend and they had stopped in to get a coffee for the long trip back. The couple is already Spiritfilled, but they don’t pray in tongues much and they have been praying about having more God-focused purpose to their lives. The wife in particular has been feeling lost and unfulfilled.

Praise God, we were able to share many encouraging and even lovingly chastening words with them, which they received enthusiastically. The wife was joyfully teary, and they departed with us all feeling that the Lord had done something miraculous to change the course of this couple’s lives.

On another occasion last week, while Don and I were having dinner out together, we got talking with two young ladies seated near us. That conversation was even longer - probably at least one and a half hours! Similar to what many people share with us, Bailey said she’d never heard things of the Lord put the way we explained it. She was raised with a strong Catholic background, and it was very refreshing for her to hear about our experiences and understanding of Scripture. She had lots of great questions which we were able to answer directly from the Word of God (as opposed to our own opinion). Sometimes, the work we do for the Lord is simply planting a seed that God then waters in other ways. Whatever God brings our way, we feel privileged to be a part of it!
