Seizing the Opportunity

Chris, our male VOICE worker, is naturally outgoing and finds it easy to strike up a conversation with just about anyone. He and the National Director of Scripture Union Uganda were traveling together to share the Scripture Union ministry including the VOICE program with some church leaders. They were pulled over by a police woman. It soon became obvious that there was no justifiable reason but rather she was hoping for a bribe—perhaps she was hungry. Chris decided to introduce her to the CrossTalk tract and realized that she was showing seemingly genuine interest. Before he finished, she read the “sinner’s prayer” and thanked him for sharing the Good News with her! Could it be that her spiritual hunger was greater than her physical hunger? Praise God for using Chris to seize a potentially awkward situation and use it for the Lord.
