As we were in the LA airport for our layover all night, 
I looked for a place that got good internet and plopped down by one of my teammates. Right after that this random guy came over and asked us if we wanted free internet, and , who doesn’t want free internet when the internet in the LA airport is 8 bucks.. so we gladly agreed, and he sat down and typed in his password. We struck up a conversation with him and he explained to us that he had been stuck in the airport for two days because his flight kept getting delayed due to weather.. and to make matters worse on his previous flight his wallet had gotten stolen so he hadn’t eaten since then. We felt bad and offered to buy him some food when McDonalds opened.
We then told him about the world race, and what we were doing and he seemed really interested. He asked us how much support we needed to raise, and we told him and then he said, ” well, i don’t have my wallet, but I do have my bank account info, and I think it’s really cool that you guys left your home to do this for your faith. Go get some of your other teammates because I want to give around $20,000.” Yes, thats right.. TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS! He explained to us that he had inherited a large sum of money when he was 18 and really felt prompted to give to us. So I ran down and woke up the squad and explained to them that there was this 22 year old that wanted to donate $20k. People couldn’t believe their ears, but they followed me back up the stairs and then he had us type in the site and he donated! He fully funded some people, and brought other peoples numbers way up! We were in shock… Here was this kid that’s younger than some of us, that has money, but chose to bless us with it. When does that ever happen?!?! When God wants to bless His children!=D
We bought him McDonalds.. it was the least we could do..lol, and then he hung out with us for the rest of our layover. As we were leaving he began to tear up and told us that he really saw something different in us and he could feel the presence of God around us. We got to pray with him and asked God to continue to open up his heart to the Truth and to His love. He wasn’t a Christian, he told us that he was a Buddhist, but didn’t practice it.. But there was a seed planted that night!
God loves to give good gifts to His kids, even when they least expect it!
