J: Thank you so much for the Bible that you gave me.
Me: My pleasure, J. I've found the promises and character of God that I read about in the Bible very comforting when I've been in hard situations. I'm sorry that things are so hard right now. I'm praying for you.
J: Thank you for your kind words. I just feel I may have sinned past the point of redemption and feel like my own worst enemy tonight, so I could definitely do with some guidance.
Me: I have been there, and I know that you are not past the point of redemption. That is why we need Jesus. Check out Romans 5 and 8 when you can tonight. Would it to be helpful to meet for coffee to talk more? I can bring my church minister, so that it is not awkward for you.
J: No, it wouldn't be awkward at all. I just need some sort of advice or guidance or something lol. I don't even know myself lol.
Me: Okay, when would work for all of us to get together this week?
J:I really don't know yet. Maybe we could discuss it Wednesday [WHEN OUR SKEPTICS STUDY MEETS!]?
Me: Okay, sounds great! Praying for you.
J: Thank you so much.
Dear Praying Friends, I know that there are groups of you that pray specifically for the people we meet at our Saturday night tea outreaches. Please PLEASE pray for J this week. He told me tonight at tea that he is about to lose his job because of a mistake he made a few years ago, which he feels horrible about. He looked like a mess and was tearing up while he was talking with me. He said that he has been praying to God, but God doesn't seem to be answering. I bought him a Bible and gave it to him tonight (praise God for the timing!), and encouraged him to start in Romans and John. He asked me when our next skeptics study is, and I said Wednesday, and he said that he would be there. Please pray that he turns to Jesus Christ. I don't think it's a coincidence that he was asking all of those questions last week and just got this bad news about his job. The man is getting to the end of himself. Please pray that he would run to Jesus. Thank so much for praying!! God is really blessing our tea ministry!
