I am writing this while it’s still fresh on my mind. This weekend Lorena and I celebrated our first anniversary a week late. While on our little getaway trip in Baltimore, we noticed how many homeless people there were. At one point during our long walks I sat down by a gentleman to take a break. I struck a conversation with Frankie only to have him begin his chant asking for food since he, too, lived on the streets. After asking him his name, I offered to buy him a burger.
Two days later, we ran into Frankie again but this time we had the thrill in sharing with him more than a meal…the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Lorena and I sat down on a bench next to him and explained the Joy of the Gospel and how a homeless man may have a home in heaven with Christ. We told Frankie how God desires to dwell with us in joy! Pray that the Gospel would begin to convict this man.
What does this story have to do with our ministry in Spain? The Gospel is God desiring to dwell in joy with us eternally (Rev. 21:2-4), and it is our joy and duty to give the message that transforms lives here or in Spain.
