Verrry interrresting...
It's been an interesting morning. First, I could find no one to come to the bible study, then as I was talking to someone on the pier I saw 'M' & 'D' riding their bikes on the boardwalk. 'M&D' are married and they're believers. They used to be homeless too, but thanks be to God they've been saved. My church had a lot to do with that. So I asked them if they wanted to have a study and they were of course willing. I had 4 hot burritos in my bag and I was silently asking the Lord who they are for. I asked 'M&D' if they wanted one. They said "no thanks." They bought me a coffee and we headed to the spot where we normally study. Two other guys were there. I haven't thought of a nick-name." Then I asked if they wanted a burrito and they said sure. Then they joined the study and I handed them a bible. Then another guy showed up. His name is 'CC'. We were in John 6 and when I came to the part where Jesus says, "He who eats this bread shall live forever." I said "This is an invitation from Christ. If any of you haven't already asked Jesus into your heart, let either M or D or myself know and we can lead you in a prayer that will change your life." The 'other J' accepted the invitation and I led him in the sinners prayer and he accepted Jesus into his heart! 'Other J' has been carrying a lot of painful baggage in his life so I also prayed with him and let him know he can place that burden on Jesus, and that he can be freed from that heavy weight. He didn't cry but his eyes were watery and I believe thay the Holy Spirit has a little more room to move in him and work in his life. It's been a very interesting morning indeed!
