While sat having breakfast in this small hotel we are having discussions between ourselves about the Sunday service/baptism etc. At the far end there is a family also taking breakfast. Just as we are about to leave the husband comes over and says in very good English he heard our conversations, and asked if he could come to church with us! (be careful what you say in public is a useful reminder)….
We said that we were travelling at least one hour to the church and had a full program, and before we could say anymore he said that he needed to come as he had been baptised yesterday and did not have peace!
We then had to ask David if this was Ok and felt it was one of those God divine appointments. David was surprised and said why would he come so far but agreed. This man came in our car with his own driver following… much to his amazement and without his family (they had guests but he insisted he needed to come to church).
During our journey he asked many questions and also regarding his business, we kept speaking into his life, it was strange set of circumstances. Part way into the journey he then changed his mind and said could we go into his car as this might settle his driver who thought he was crazy, but we refused as my warning bells put me on high alert!
This man was a director of the hotel and had other businesses, also he spent 2 years in England a while back. So what was this mans true intentions? Again question after question came and he began to relax, then he suddenly said that he now had peace and need not come any further.
We prayed over him and he then got out and thanked us, returned to his car and we went ahead to our original destination. Where we gullible at his story of faith or was God using us to speak into his life? It’s hard to give all the facts here but it was an amazing encounter. We were kept safe and had a truly blessed morning!
