The most meaningful experience is
when we got invited to a new friend’s house. One of my teammates
formed a friendship with her and immediately we got invited to have lunch
at her home. While we were there she introduced us to her
grandparents, parents, uncle, and aunt. She had invited one of her friends
as well.
Our team got to help prepare a traditional dish with her and her
friend and we all sat on the floor and ate together. We had asked our
national friends if they do anything before eating and they had said that
they usually invite others to eat first. I got to tell them that we pray
before eating and explain to them what prayer is and why we do it. Later on
during the meal we got the opportunity to share the Gospel with them. Our
friends were so fascinated and captivated by the story of Jesus
(Especially the part where he rose again!). Although they did not accept
the Gospel, we are continuing to build a friendship with them and love
them.
So thankful for the seeds that have been planted, please pray for this friend, that she would continue to be open to developing a relationship with the team and that her heart would be open to the Gospel.
