Another God-sighting...

So I just got done spending the weekend with our teens at Summer of Service. It was a great weekend and God worked in the lives of our group. One of my favorite parts of the day was when we would do God-sightings. You were to look back on the day and see a moment when you saw God at work in every day situations. Its funny how we go through our lives and really miss those moments. Well tonight was definitely one of those moments. Monday nights is our youth group night for Ignite Youth Ministries, and it was great to get together after the weekend. We were playing big ball volleyball and just goofing off together. During the game, a white van drives through the church parking lot. The truck kind of slows down and 2 guys are kind of watching us as we act crazy! As they start getting past us, one of the teens yells out, "Jesus loves you" and the guy in the passengers seat yells back, "I know." We all head back to our game and don't give the exchange any more thought, until a few minutes later the guy starts strolling over to where we are playing. He says thanks to "whoever yelled Jesus loves you" and then proceeds to tell us about some serious losses in his life that were weighing heavy on him, and then asks us if we would pray for him. Of course we were like sure, although some of the teens were looking a little tentative. We talked to him for a few minutes then all joined hands and prayed for this burdened gentleman. Dave was able to spend a little more time talking with him, and give him a Bible to take home with him. Who knew that 3 little words yelled across a parking lot would make such an impact on this man...so much so that he sought us out to stand in the gap for him. I just hope that we all stop and really take in how God was moving tonight!
