Always Be On The Lookout!

Below is an account from a team we sent to Haiti that got stuck in the DFW airport because they missed their flight due to weather.

Well we were all disappointed when we missed the flight and had to spend the night in Dallas and so was I.  Buttttt God had other ideas. While setting at the computer bar to plug in the i-pad to charge and look at pictures I had the chance to visit with this young girl. Megan goes to school in New Mexico where her father lives, her mother lives in New York so a broken family. As we visited I could feel an empty heart and we visited a little on her spiritual live. Megan had attended a Catholic school and taken all the right studies etc but had no idea that God wanted her to be His child. I had a Gideon New Testament that had been given to me just before leaving home. I am a Gideon but didn't have a testament with me. I used this little New Testament to show her several verses of God's love and plan for her. She then asked if I had another that she could have. I told her that I didn't but she could have that one and she just smiled. I then asked her if she would  like to take Christ as her Saviour.  She said "I don't know why not". It was very touching to hear her pray a very simple but from the heart pray asking Christ to forgive and to fill her life. 

Megan was alone in the airport and staying the night as she had missed her plane also. I asked her if she wanted to sleep with our group as we had a girl in the group with us and an extra cot. I didn't want to see her alone all night in a large airport. She smiled again and said sure. Please pray that her life will be changed and her walk with God will glorify HIM.   Guess it wan't so bad to miss the flight.

Thank you for your prayers for this team and the many other we send out on a weekly basis.   Isn't it cool how God works in mysterious ways?  Always be on the lookout for opportunities to share you faith.
