Last week while I was praying at the church, specifically talking to Jesus about His success rate with seeking and finding the lost and needful people of His day, I heard the sounds of wheels rolling in the church parking lot. I really felt like the Lord told me to put my praying on hold and go check out the source of the sound. Outside I saw two teenagers skating around the blacktop. (Our church has the best parking lot in town for skateboarding, and is one of the few places where boarders haven't been chased away). I introduced myself and ended up having a nice long conversation with the guys about skateboarding and JLM's Daily 180 Show. I invited them to our church services as we continued talking for awhile.
Tonight they both showed up for our Youth Game Night! They met everyone in the church and had a great time in our group reading of John 3 and a time of fun playing games and eating pizza. It was great to have two new visitors!
Once again I'm amazed at how quickly God answers prayer when we stop long enough to listen to His response. His promise still holds true: Seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. It's true for so many things, including seeking and finding people who need Jesus Christ in their lives.
