The following report comes to us from regional missionary Anne in Royal Oak, MI:
While taking my lunch break walk through a busy downtown area, I take notice of people, but especially people who essentially work alone. I thought to myself, “I wonder if it is difficult to rush from place to place delivering packages or spraying lawns or dropping off dry cleaning?”
Today I saw someone and sensed he might have a hip problem so I greeted him and after a brief conversation that included how he hurt his hip, he asked me to include his shoulder and thumb as well in the prayer. He mentioned that he was raised Catholic. Before we parted I invited him to my church since he did not live far from it. God is good, all the time.
Praised be Jesus Christ!
