Recently, I met a young local student named Fuad. After talking for a little bit one day and discovering all of our common interests, he began wanting to meet up with Kynsleigh and I all the time. This has given us a great opportunity to share with him over several meetings and he is very interested and receptive to what we have to say. He comes from a muslim family and he has said several times that he does not think that they are right in what they believe but he does not know what is right. God is evidently at work in his heart and we have been blessed by the conversations that we have had with him thus far.
This past saturday, he and his girlfriend (Samantha) took us on a trip to a local river to swim and hang out in the shade for a little bit. Again, I had the opportunity to share with him and plant some seeds in his life. He began to tell me how thankful he was that I actually cared about him and was not just sharing with him because I felt like I should, but because he could tell that I loved him. He said that he had met Christians before but they had always been pushy and arrogant while sharing what they believe. This absolutely broke my heart. He said that it was so encouraging to find a few believers that genuinely wanted to love him and share what God has done in their lives without being forceful or upset when someone does not feel ready to accept Christ at that very moment.
Please be in prayer for Fuad and his group of friends that we have been blessed with who are obviously searching
Pray for us as we begin to say our goodbyes over the next few days
Pray for the relationships that we have built to continue to grow
We are humbly blessed by your prayers and encouragement,
Mack
