Last night was incredible to see how God worked. I went to the beach after dinner and played a little soccer and met a few people. There was an older man that spoke English and I was able to talk to him for a little bit. After we finished playing soccer I walked down the beach a little ways and then sat down and started reading my bible. A younger guy, maybe mid twenties, came up to me and started talking to me and then asked me what type of book I was reading from. Well, to make a long story short we ended up talking for over an hour and I was able to walk through pretty much all of redemptive history, OT and NT and give this man the gospel. It was incredible to see how God gave me the words to say and the thoughts to think and the verses that God brought to my mind were incredible. I am reminded again that it is completely of Him and all about Him and I need to continue to saturate myself in the word and prayer in dependence on Him. One thing that I kept telling the guy that I was talking to was that he needed to read it for himself and truly see what the Bible has to say so that God can use His words to convict him and then he can either accept the truth or reject it. At the end of our conversation it was awesome because he ended up asking "could you get me a Bible?" and of course I told him that I could so I will be giving him an Arabic Bible tonight. Pray that God will use the word in his life as he reads it to open up his eyes to the truth of the gospel. I think I am going to have him start in the gospel of John...
