As I was putting together this mission/ministry idea and making a poster for the church describing the plan, I had one extra Seed Door Knob Hanger. I took it to one of the neighbors across the street. I don't know them well. Brian, Becky and their child about 1 year old, Madeline. That was on Tuesday.
This morning as I headed out for my walk, I prayed that God would put some one in my path to talk to about Him and or this ministry. As I walked down the street and turned the corner, there was Becky!!!! Because I am timid and not sure about my ability to disciple others, I said a quick prayer for God to give me the words He would have me say. She was pushing a stroller with Madeline and holding the leashes of their two dogs. The first thing she said was *Thank you for the seeds*. I told her she was welcome and asked if they had a church. She said *My husband is Catholic, but we do not have a church yet.* So I invited her if they would be willing to come and check out my awesome church. She said, *I will talk to my husband and we just might.*
If you are reading this please say a prayer for Brian, Becky and Madeline. Pray that they find a close relationhip with God. Pray also for this ministry and that the Glory of God shines brightly as He changes lives!
I am excited to see what He will do next!
Rita, May God bless you as you "reach out" to others in your neighborhood. May God equip you for the task and give you courage and encouragement along the way. I pray God will use you to encourage others to also "reach out" to those who do not know Christ and His love as they plant the seeds to draw others to God's Kingdom. Sharon
