A Tale of Three Co-workers
Lisa Carr emailed Isaac the following story of how God has led her to advance the Gospel of Christ right where she works:
Hey Issac,
With the single ministry’s desire to pursue the mission God has given us, I’ve really felt God telling me that my mission field is local and with the people I work with. There are 3 people specifically that he’s drawn me towards:
One girl I worked with at my previous job. Over the course of working with her we had discussed spiritual things. After having left the job, I can see God drawing her out and she’s been searching for the truth of who He is. I’ve been able to witness to her, she’s come to church a few times, she’s come to my women’s discipleship group—which was really exciting—and she’s now actively looking to find a church to learn more about Him. I can really see God working in her heart. Pray that she would trust in Christ and that she would be able to come to the Introducing God series.
Another is a girl that I currently work with who is Muslim. She’s very open to discussing faith on a philosophical and historical level. Over Christmas she came to the service and was moved by the production. She said she was touched by the portrayal of Mary holding Jesus after he died. It brought up the opportunity to talk about Jesus and who he was. She was really excited to get one of the books for guests to read more and I also gave her The Case for Christ, which she is currently reading. Her family is strong in their beliefs and you can see the pull in her heart to please her family. Please pray that she will be open to the truth of Jesus.
The third girl is someone that I’ve just started working with. She’s told other people at work that she is an atheist. With our similar interests and schedules, I’ve been working closely with her lately. I know that God is putting me in her path to plant seeds. So far we’ve been getting to know each other but I know God’s got opportunities waiting for me to share Jesus with her. Pray that I’ll recogni ze them and jump in with both feet.
