I spent the day with...
I got up early this morning and cooked for our lawyer. She is one of the most respected lawyers in our town along with her son that is also a lawyer and her husband a very important man...
I thought she would just come and have lunch because she loves to eat and wanted to eat American food.
Low and behold she stayed right up to almost 6 o´clock...and only left then because she is going to some kind of class tonight.
She turned her phone off and said I have come to spend the afternoon with you all...
We talked about God, showed her pictures of the saints in different parts of the world where we have worked and visited. We showed her pictures of our trip to the Holy land. Took her and showed her the church and its departments...etc.
We prayed with her and in the end she asked us to come to her home at for a service!
I do believe the Lord is dealing with her. We have never had a personal relationship with her just a business relationship...today she let us know she is hungry for God and ask many questions.
She complimented us for our honesty in business affairs she has taken care of for us.
She told us we could use her farm for outings for our people free of charge...something she rents out to people for that purpose.
I am so amazed...Please help us pray for her salvation.

Re: I spent the day with...
Sounds like a great opportunity to share the Gospel through how you have conducted your business affairs.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: I spent the day with...
thank you folks so much...one thing I do know if we want to buy people off (common in South America) the world will have little respect for us...If we have a code of conduct according to the Bible they will respect us deeply.

Great report; I'm believing for God to bring her to more truth through your example.

Re: I spent the day with...
She said she like it all but she really loved the meatloaf. I had made an extra one so I gave it to her to take home with her.
It was an awesome experience having her in my home. She is such an important person and a busy person. I know God is dealing with her even though she does not understand the our way of life...Yes, she has heard the music of His call....
