| Man Receiving Food from Our Truck |
For years, James has been a part of
our extended family at Tompkins Square Park. Every week
he has enjoyed the free food & drink we
supply, but would only smile and walk off when we
tried to converse with him. From time
to time, I found myself praying that the
Lord would open the door for me to get to know
him.
The perfect opportunity arose when he asked
for some hair conditioner a few weeks ago. It
was then I put
some conditioners in an envelope and wrote
a note addressing him as "the man I do not know the name of" and
expressed how grateful we were to have him as a
part of our lives at Tompkins Square Park.
A week later I was
amazed as he waved me over and began
asking questions about my life. He introduced
himself as James, which was exciting since he would never give me his name. As I
said my name, he said yes I know, pointing to his back pocket to indicate the note was
there.
The conversation continued on, and James
related to me that he had no beliefs about
God.
So I shared my testimony of how I was
an atheist and hated God but He showed Himself
real to me through a series of circumstances.
Please
pray that the Lord will continue to develop the
relationship with James and open doors for us to
share the Gospel with him!
