Meeting - Sandi & Joyce

Post date: May 7, 2011 11:56:05 PM

Joyce and I met with a gentleman on April 26. He wears a heavy beard and is a big fellow with a friendly smile. Before his massive heart attack, he worked as a attorney for accountants. He has five grown children, four of them his step children. He is divorced, but remain friendly with all parties. He made some money taking care of horses for one of his ex-in laws.

He said he was a Jew and we found that he knew the old testament stories. So I read to him Isaiah 53. He asked if the passage relate to Jesus or to God. I told him that God Himself became a man to bore our sin on the cross and whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. He said his sin was his own and he is responsible for bearing it. I told him that sin is a debt that we could not afford to pay. As an accountant and homeless person, he should know one could get bankrupt. Since none of us are perfect, we need a savior to rescue and redeem us from sin. Joyce and I prayed for him and gave him a booklet on the 4 spiritual laws. He was most friendly and open. We could met him at a fast food restaurant again to see how he is doing. It is a good idea to keep in touch with him. We paid $50 for the extraction of his one tooth. He paid himself for the extraction of the second tooth.
