Last week I went to a Word study, lead by a city teammate, with six of her seeking students in attendance. The discussion was unbelievable. One of the girls in attendance had just gotten dunked. After the study, a different girl told me than one of her guy friends wants to study, too, and asked if I would study with him. I said "Maybe my husband can work with him!" Well, Drew was pumped about it. On Wednesday we had this pair over for dinner, to kind of gauge the guy's interest (legit or not?) and it's a go. So Drew and his new buddy will begin reading John's account of the story next week.
I went on a mountain hike with a former tutor of mine, who has been considering her worldview options. On the mountain we encountered a multitude of tombs, which lead to a deeper discussion about her perspective on life and death. She is looking for the truth, but, and I quote, "I'm lost!" I told her that she can ask the Most High for help to know the truth. It was so cute, she said, "When is the best time to ask?" and "Even if I'm not committed to Him, can I still talk to Him?" ... Yes! Please do!
Just last night I played pick-up volleyball with Drew's classmates. I walked home with a dear girlfriend who adores Titus. Pretty much of out of the blue (or black -- it was night), she asked me "So do you think that people are bad? And their whole lives they just don't care and then when they're forty they want to make things right -- so they start getting all religious and believe and stuff?" This was just the kind of conversation I had been asking for.
These are the "stand-outs" from this past week which came as surprises! Surprises ... and also welcome reminders that our requests are heard, and hearts are being moved.
Thank you for your part in lifting these things.
Drew & Rachel
Excited with you! What a great reminder to keep asking!!!!! Keep all the updates coming!
