The Good News in the Air

Caleb, Shelby, and I had already checked in at the airport and received our seat numbers. We were waiting for Samuel because he was still standing at the ticket counter. At first we were being patient, but it was really early and we all were ready to sit down so we were losing patience. He finally finished at the ticket counter and we found it was taking so long... he was changing seats. The airline worker saw that Samuel was really tall so she offered him an emergency exit seat.  Here's Samuel's perspective on what happened next:

"On the flight to South Korea from Atlanta, I sat next to two passengers who looked Asian. After talking to them, I found out they actually live in Auburn, AL. One is in high school and the other will be attending Auburn University (which is where I attend University also) in the fall as a freshmen. We talked for a little bit during meals on our 14 hour flight and eventually got around to the topic of religion. God gave me the opportunity to share the Good News with him. He said he had never heard this story before. I could tell he was interested during the whole time we talked. He said he needs more time to think about it. We exchanged numbers, and I told him to call me in the fall."

Our whole team thought it was extremely awesome that this happened. If Samuel had not changed seats, he would not have had the chance to share the Good News with this guy. God showed us that even we were impatient and couldn't see what He was doing, He was working out an amazing story. 

Praise the Lord that Samuel had the chance to share the Good News with someone who had never heard it before even before we arrived on the field.
Please be praying that God moves in this guys heart and that he would continue to think on the things Samuel told him. Please be praying that this guy would contact Samuel and that they can connect in the fall at Auburn.
