California Dreaming
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions"Â
Joel 2:28
Today, Nick and I met with a friend of ours for lunch to share with each other the ways that God is moving in each of our lives and to discuss the ministry that we get to participate in. We had a great time talking and eating, but as we were finishing our food, a young man who had been listening to our conversation asked us if he could join us at our table. We happily invited him to join our conversation, and we discovered that he is a young Christian converted from agnosticism due to a powerful dream he received of Jesus in his room with him! We were so blessed to hear how powerfully God had grabbed ahold of *Jacob and expressed His love and forgiveness through this dream! We asked *Jacob what he sensed his greatest spiritual need was at the time and he replied that he feels a need for a better resource for studying the Bible. We told him that we would love to be a support and resource for him as he continues to explore this new life as a disciple of Jesus. He exchanged numbers, and we hope to meet up with him in the future to explore Jesus' teachings given for His disciples!
Please pray for *Jacob as he continues down this new road and pray that we might be able to support him in this discipleship journey!
With love and peace,
