Open-Air at WSU

What started out to be a discouraging day in the open-air, turned out to be one of the most blessed days of the entire year.

After the hour or so drive into downtown Detroit to Wayne State University, some of the team passed out literature while the others put up the board to begin a meeting. After a little while, we gathered around the board and waited...and waited. There where hardly any students anywhere. Then it clicked. Exam week. Par the decision of the team leader, we stayed to just practice preaching and would wrap it up early.

As it turned out, we ended up having quite a few really good conversations....some of the best conversations ever. People would walk up to the board and ask us what the painting was about. What more of an open door do we need?!? And more people came up and asked the same thing. We talked to Muslims, Catholics, homeless, Agnostics, people who were already saved, and who knows what else.

Even with the exams, we ended up having people in the meetings too. Needless to say, we ended up staying longer than we originally intended.

I ended up asking the Lord to forgive my doubt in Him and failing to realize that He is the one who provides the increase. We have a saying at school. "Sometimes you have Noah days, and sometimes you have Jonah days." All we have to do is be faithful. While this is true, I sure think the Jonah days are a lot more exciting!
