So, sometimes (or I should say, most of the time) ministry here takes on a different appearance then we expect. On Thursday, we were told we were going to do “Industrial Park Evangelism.” Many of us thought we would be going to like a machining area and handing out tracts, but much to our surprise we rode a bus to a very nice furniture store. We were guided in like cattle to the interior of the store where we were seated on the nicest furniture we had seen in 3 months. It turns out that the woman that owns the store is a relatively new Christian and donated a large bag of rice to the church to help feed us while we have been here. Our sole purpose of being there was to talk with her and her workers. She closed down her shop and called all of her workers over. We introduced ourselves and quickly split into 3 different groups. It turned into an amazing hour and a half of being able to share our hearts with them. We were able to tell stories, experiences, and answer MANY, MANY questions. They had some great questions and it was fun just to sit and talk with them. We were able to ask for prayer requests and pray for many of them. It was a great time of encouragement for them and for us. It amazing how God sets up these divine appointments for us, even if they are in the middle of a furniture store.
