When you walk in the Spirit, you just don't know when, where and how He will lead, even when you are in the midst of a gathering.
Recently, I mentioned that one of the causes of the fatigue that is weighing down Evie is a woman from the area who has heard of the acts of mercy that seem to be what we are known for and has contacted us with a request for monetary assistance. So far Evie and she have only exchanged a large number of texts. This woman, call her Janey, is in management at a local national restaurant chain.
This morning we were gathering and Evie had her phone on with the ringer turned up. Her phone indicated a text had come it. She checked it and saw that it was from Janey.
Janey said, "If your group is meeting this morning, why don't you come to the restaurant. I'll be there and Destin (the daughter of one of our participants) can be your server."
This was no small challenge because we had some of our physically and mentally handicapped people with us but our group is not easily deterred by obstacles and, certainly, not tradition bound. So, we made a reservation for about an hour ahead, shared some praises, prayer concerns, read some Scripture and sang one more song and loaded up the cars.
What a wonderful time!
Janey spend about fifteen minutes with us. We finally actually met her. She came across as transparent and eager to be ministered to, not only to be given a cash gift. She also bought three of the meals for the group.
It is a blessing to be able to take our ministry's show on the road, in a moment's time and even in the midst of gathering.
There is such joy for us in His salvation. And, walking in the Spirit, we certainly are not bored.
