Wimpy outreach? Not really.
September 20, 2008
Ok I’m a wimp-although I prefer the term “introvert”- so I like to do my outreaches secretly. I had been recently thinking of giving away a gas card, so I smiled when that was the assignment on my lottery scratch off. I had been feeling God prompting me to go to a certain Kroger parking lot in Hamilton- far from my neighborhood but one I pass occasionally as I go to work. Out of my comfort zone but bolstered by the stories on this blog, I bought a BP gas card & headed out. I prayed as I got to the parking lot for God to lead me to the person who needed to be reminded of His love today. I quickly found an old, beat up Cutlass Siera-the same model & color of a car I had years ago-with the windows down !!! I quickly tossed the gas card onto the front seat with the tear off & a note saying this was to show them God’s love in a practical way.
I pulled a short distance away so I could watch what happened-not my usual style but fun. Within a few minutes the owner arrived & got in after unloading her groceries in the trunk. I couldn’t really see her face as she read the note, but she sat there awhile before she shut the door. I pray she felt the love of her God who desperately loves her enough to prompt someone like me to give her that message.
