In conversations recently with international students, Richard and I separately had the same experience. God is confirming something here. Each student mentioned the kindness and friendliness of their experience with believers was drawing them to know Jesus.
One student wants to be like these people so much he is calling himself a believer even though he does not yet know the whole story of what that means. How powerful, how simple ... a cup of water in Jesus name:
a dish of food prepared, a ride to the grocery store, helping hands, a song sung, a listening ear...a word in season, and a sound simple teaching when Holy Spirit prompts us.
Americans have a reputation world wide for making poor friends. Students tell us "People say 'how are you?' but don't even stop to listen. They don't really care."Let us raise the weapon of kindness and friendship, and watch strongholds come tumbling down ... so the King of Glory can come in! 2 Cor 10: 3-5
