An Extra Van
There was a time that I came into possession of a nice van while helping
another family out of a financial crisis. It was an extra vehicle and I was not
sure what I was going to do with it.
This particular evening I took a prayer walk around my neighborhood. When I got
home, a neighbor came to my door. As soon as I walked in, she said that she
wanted me to tell her about Jesus. As I was witnessing to my neighbor, a young
friend, who was a seminary student, his wife and four children were coming in
another door. George talked to them while I did what I needed to do for my
Jesus.
After my neighbor left, we quickly fixed hot dogs for this family. My friend
said "we need to talk to you." I had led his wife to the Lord several years
before and they knew we loved them and would pray for them.
When we cleaned up the kitchen, we went into the living room where this young
man said "we need for you to pray for us:" They had come from North Carolina and
were going back in a couple of days. I knew it was a serious prayer request.
He said "we are about to go on the mission field in Mexico and our greatest need
yet unfulfilled is for a van for these children."
I said "we have one in the front yard and you can have it:"
He couldn't believe it. He had no idea we had that van. I smiled because, that
is just the way our Lord works. He knew all the time what I needed to do with
that van.
