Random Encounter
A couple months ago I was standing in line at Starbucks in Acworth while talking with a friend of mine. The lady in front of us overheard our conversation and started asking questions about Freedom Church.
Long story short, this lady and her college-age daughter hadn’t been to church in years and wanted to check us out based on the conversation she heard my friend and I having. Seemed random at the time and after a few weeks I forgot all about it.
Recently, she showed up and stopped me in the hall in-between the 9:30 and 11:00. She said how much she loved her time at Freedom (she’d been coming for several weeks) and that her daughter had promised to come with her the following Sunday. She followed through with that promise and this past Sunday the daughter gave her life to Christ!
What I thought to be a random encounter was actually a divine appointment. Who knows when you are going to have a conversation that can lead to life-change in the life of an individual? That great family showing up at Freedom wasn’t the result of a convincing dissertation – it was simply the result of a simple invitation.
Keep inviting your friends and family! With over 250 first time guests in August – your invitations aren’t being ignored!
I love this stuff!
