A Gardener and a Security Guard
As our ministry team walked around Santa Domingo with members of the church, we knocked on doors and talked to folks we came in contact with.
We approached an old man standing on the street to share Christ’s love with him. He pulled out his small worn Bible and told us of his faith in the Lord Jesus.
The young people chatted with him and shared their testimony then left a New Testament with him.
We continued on our way to talk with more people and the gardener walked over to pick up his tools at the security guard’s shed.
He told the guard about us and showed the guard his new Bible.
As we walked on, the security guard asked us, “Can I have a Bible, too?”
Encouraged and excited, we turned around to give him a Bible and the youth shared with him the love of the Lord Jesus.
As they talked about his need for salvation, the guard asked how he could ask Jesus into his life.
Amazed and overjoyed, they guided him into the Kingdom.
As we knocked on doors nearby, I looked back and saw the guard reading his Bible as though he couldn’t take his eyes off it a moment to let cars through the gated area.
The youth we amazed at how many people asked Jesus into their lives that day and how ripe the harvest is in
Peru.
