Whoda thunk?
With all the crazy things that have been happening, I was feeling a bit under the rug. I prayed and asked God for a bit of encouragement. He did not fail to answer!
Olli, with his shirt off and hair to the middle of his back, ran to meet us as we drove up. Olli is a "biker". Not exactly, from human perspective (first look), the ideal candidate to represent the King of Kings. The first words out of his mouth were, "the next "Alki" (alcoholic) is on his way and he wants to talk to you!"
We first met Olli (Matthias) in January at one of our evangelistic outreaches. The second time he came, he prayed the sinners prayer. God has been doing an incredible work in his life. He is so excited. He is constantly discovering a new tract or Christian video to share with his friends. We started biblical discipleship Wednesday. Today, as we were getting back in the car, he said that he wanted to talk about baptism. God works in ways and places that we would never have thought.
Praise God for His wondrous works and His acts of encouragement,
Paul
