Spreading The Word

Late one afternoon when I was just about to close down the Youth Ministry Yard Sale, a young man ( late 20’s ? ) drove up in a new Lexus and wanted to know what our ministry was about.

He explained that he was retruning from a 3 year missionary service in Nicaragua and was driving back home to Memphis. I was a bit curious why he was driving a rental Lexus but too polite to ask.

While I was explaining about our three group homes and the up to 28 high risk children we support, he was very intently listening. Ater listening, he stated that he wanted to make a donation but all he had was pocket change.. he also wanted to look around to see what we were selling.

While he was looking at the items, I went in back to start locking things away.

When I cam back, he was gone but the Tips/Donation Box had a large amount of pocket change… he did not take anything… just apparently left all the pocket change he could find in the Lexus.

God works in His way… never heard from that young man again… apparently we made an impression on him and he certainly made an impression on me.
