A man named Steve

We had to do something yesterday that was so completely out of my comfort zone. We went door to door. I was lucky to get paired with K, so that was wonderful. We knocked on a door that opened to a man named Steve who was incredibly lonely. He was really sad and suffered with clinical depression among other things. He needs prayer. K spoke the gospel into his life. He knows God, but told us that he was angry with him because he feels such sadness and lonelyness. I think that he actually got choked up like he was going to cry quite a few times. He was thankful that it was us who came knocking on his door. Oh my gosh it broke our hearts. K prayed over him and his life... he thinks that he is called by God to stay in the flat that he lives in and become a man of God to evangelize. Oh my gosh, seriously I never thought that getting over the "concrete shoes" would be so fruitful. It was amazing. I think that we could use this type of thing at home... just speaking into peoples lives. Meeting them where they are. It was so amazing. The Lord really blesses obediance to what we are called by Him to do. Even when we are reluctant. So, today I say

" Thank you Lord for blessing me with a wonderful friend who is such an example to me. Bless her Lord for the work she does. Thank you Father for showing us the way, and helping K to speak the gospel into a lonely mans life. Show Steve the way, Lord. Show him the positive side of life and help to lift him up so he can be a man of your ways.
Thank you for the time here Lord, this has changed my life truely.....
In Jesus name, Amen"

Peace and blessings to you today...
