A story from our Missionaries, Nathan and Shana Mast to Kenya, Africa – Nathan got a random email from a 6th grade boy that remembered Nathan from camp a few months previous.. He must have saved something with their email address on it or gotten it from someone. Anyhow, he said “I would like to know how to accept Jesus as savior”. Nathan wrote a long explanation of the gospel and said he would love to meet with him. The boy simply responded “ok”. Soon after that, Nathan was on a school campus and this boy came to the Bible study and told Nathan that he prayed to accept Jesus. Great story of how it sometimes takes a long time of working with an individual or group and sometimes someone is ready and God is calling him! On Thanksgiving day my wife and I were eating lunch at Cracker Barrel, when I notice a young man at a table across from us and telling the waitress someone was coming in with a walker. After a few minutes he was kind of antsy until the rest of his party showed up; his grandmother (elderly and with the walker), parents and brother. They seemed very pleasant. As we were eating our meal, I noticed the young man had a caring way about himself and wanted to make sure everyone was doing well. It was at that point that God spoke to me and said to pray for them. I told my wife that God wants me to pray for that family, so I asked if she could take care of the bill. I approached the table and said Happy Thanksgiving and shared that God told me to pray for them. I asked if it was ok to pray for them and they said yes. I then asked who they were and if it was ok to lay my hands on them to pray and they said yes. As I prayed, I felt the presence of God. After praying, I thanked them for letting me pray and shook all of their hands and blessed them. The family was very grateful. Thank you for letting me share, to God be all the glory!
