Rolling Thunder

This trip was interesting. We didn't get many open doors for one-on-one evangelism, but that's the thing about this kind of ministry. You never know when or where the doors will open. But we did experience a God-moment. We went to a memorial ceremony by the "Rolling Thunder" chapter 5 of Ohio. They have a traveling memorial wall dedicated to P.O.W./M.I.A. awareness. During part of the ceremony the bagpipes were playing "Amazing Grace". That's when I noticed a man with his hand raised in praise. As soon as the ceremony was over I tracked him down and we had a good talk. His name was Charlie. We talked about missions and about evangelism. It turns out that his dad was a missionary in Alaska for many years. After we had finished our talk Charlie wanted to pray. So we all held hands together, (6 of us) and Charlie prayed. There we were...praying right out in the open. Unashamed. And Unthreatening. There were veterans, family members, general onlookers, and this was during a Native American Dance contest. And there we were, with Charlie praying on. The point is this; sometimes the Spirit opens doors and lets us talk to people one-on-one. But sometimes He has a different plan in mind. We just need to follow Him. There is no way of knowing whose life was touched seeing us pray. But I know many people watched. And so thank you Charlie, wherever you are. I hope we meet again in this life. But if we don't I'll be looking for you in the next. May God bless you Charlie. And thank you Rolling Thunder. - (Shannon)
