A Slow Wednesday, of sorts

March 26th, 2008 at 11:41 am [ # ] · Daytona Beach SB Missions ·

Today, I felt the calling to spend most of my time in prayer.  So that’s what I did.  I just went down to the opposite end of the park, and just sat there and prayed.  For a long time.  And although I really wasn’t talking to anyone, I felt like I was doing my job.

Afterwards, as I sat there, Justin called me over.  Harley and Dave, whom we had talked to on Sunday night, had stopped by.  We sat there with them and just spent time talking to them, which is what I think they needed.  They both were believers, who were struggling with a couple vices, and they couldn’t seem to just get past them.

I spent a little time at the table, and then I went back out to talk some people.  I met two older Italian gentlemen, Sam and Bruno, who were down here to get away from the cold of NY and MA.  I talked with Bruno mostly, about his life and his past.  We moved a little into spiritual things, but when I asked him about if he went to church, he said only a little.  We was sort of religious, but I don’t think it was anything major in his life.

After cleaning up and heading back to the hotel, I thought back on my day at the beach.  It didn’t seem to productive.  Two regular conversations, prayer and some helping out at the table.

But as we had our team meeting, I realized that God had used me in exactly the way he wanted to use me.  Robert, a man who Tot (Emily) and Amy had been talking to for several days decided to accept Christ into his heart.  And not only did we have one conversion, but Brett also led a 9 year old boy, Joel to Christ.

So at the end of the day, God knew exactly where he wanted me.
