(Here’s another Making Disciples story from a member at Jersey. If you or someone you know has a similar story, please share for the benefit of others.)

Mike and I were returning from our Off-Campus Grow Group. We stopped at Wendy’s in Gahanna for a late night snack. The young man at the drive-thru window asked “How are you doing?” to which I replied “We’re great. We just left our bible study group.” He answered by asking, “Can you pray for me?”

What an opportunity to witness. I said of course, then asked his name, and told him I would but we had to move through the line to pick up our food. As I started praying for him, I could not get him out of my thoughts. I drove through the drive-thru twice in one week with hopes of seeing him again, but he was not there. The third time I asked if he was there and the person at the window said yes, but he was on break.

I immediately thanked God for the opportunity to talk to him. I parked the car and went inside and he was sitting with his food. I asked if he remembered me, and he said he did. I told him how I had been praying for him and wanted to talk to him about Jesus. So, I told him about how God loved him and how Jesus died on the cross for him. I told him Jesus died for our sins so that we might have life everlasting. I gave him a tract from Billy Graham with the sinner’s prayer.

I told him about Jersey and he said he had stopped going to church, but had a church in downtown Columbus. I touched his arm and told him I wanted to pray for him. I think he was really in a state of total shock because he said no one had ever approached him before. He showed me a picture of his two-month old son and we talked about him getting a better job. We discussed businesses that were hiring. I have not been able to see him since, but plan on going to Wendy's again and hopefully, they will tell me he has a new job. I was so elated the Lord provided this opportunity and pray He gives me an opportunity every day to witness to others.
