I recently got a haircut. My supervisor told me about a reputable local shop that she had been to. Even better, she told me the stylist was open to spiritual conversations.
Emma and I were in the salon for nearly three hours (much longer than we ever anticipated). Emma got her roots touched up while I sat on the couch scrolling on my phone, trying to be productive somehow.
Eventually, they started washing my hair so they could cut it. For a long time, I sat there quietly, just wanting my hair to be done so we could leave and go to a market for some fun.
But I kept feeling the need to talk to him, so I started simple by asking him about his job.

Eventually, I heard him mention that he goes to the temple to relax. This was a perfect in to religion. I shared the Gospel, and then he shared a dream he had. He used his best English, but when that failed, acting came into play. His dream showed Jesus being lifted up on the cross, being on the cross, and then dying. Emma got to share the Gospel shortly after.
He sat down to start back at my hair, but Emma told me later he was tearing up, trying to compose himself. Since then, we've invited him to church, as he showed interest.
Pray for this man, that he would make Jesus his Lord and Savior.
Pray that there would be more dreams like this for our hairdresser and for others. Pray for this man to encounter more Christians who will proclaim the truth.
