God in action

A Persian Man

This past Friday, we headed out once again to share the gospel on the streets. We didn't have much time, as I needed to get home to prepare for our Men's Night, but the Lord made every moment count.

During our time out, we had a number of encouraging talks but this one was the most encouraging. We met a young Persian man who had fled the regime in Iran and is unable to return home. He shared that he considers himself agnostic but has recently begun reading the Bible. He then told us something remarkable.

Just the week before, he had cried out to God, saying, "If You are real, show Yourself to me." A few days later, he met us on the street. He said, "If this is not a sign, I don't know what is."

We had the privilege of sharing the gospel with him, answering some of his questions, and giving him a copy of "Gibt es Gott?"  (Is there a God?) We also invited him to join us at church.

Please pray that he would continue seeking the Lord, that God would reveal Himself through His word, and that we would have another opportunity to meet and encourage him in his journey to Christ.
