So often I walk by someone and the thought occurs to me, I should talk to that person about their eternity.  Sometimes, I'm ashamed to admit, I walk by.  But sometimes the Spirit works in my heart so much so that I hang around a while and usually a door opens that allows me to speak to that person.  We can't talk to everyone we see, but there are certain people almost everywhere we go that God has been working on their hearts.  If we are willing to be his mouthpiece, he will work out the details!

Often we will walk into a store or restaurant and I will look at Laura and she knows that I am going to have to talk to someone.  She usually finds a comfortable seat somewhere and begins to pray for the person that I approach.  Once at a restaurant a worker was taking a break and I was able to talk with her about life and after sharing with her a bit about the Law and Grace, she told me she had recently given her heart to Jesus.  It was my opportunity to make sure she understood what true conversion is and what it means to "repent."  

Sometimes it's young believers that need encouragement, sometimes it's lost souls that need to be shown the way, the truth, and the life.
