Pray for Andrean

Good morning everyone! Getting caught up on my sleep slowly. Its funny, yesterday, I would be talking to people and tears would just start flowing out of eyes...and I started getting really sleepy about 4 pm. I guess thats what jet lag is all about.

On the plane trip home from Munich, I sat by a young German man named Andrean. What a great kid! He just graduated from college and had recently started working at Seamonds. This was his first time coming to the U.S. He was very excited. He told me he would be in Chicago and then would be traveling to Knoxville over the next two weeks. Andrean said that all German workers get paid once a month with thirty-three per cent of their paycheck taken out for taxes before they receive their check. He said all Germans have government health care. He said everything is paid for with no waiting to see a doctor or for surgery.

On the topic of religion. Andrean said that only the old Germans are religious. I ask him if he ever read the bible, he said no. I ask him why and he said that it is an old book and not very relative. Of course, that opened the door for me to preach a little bit. I talked to him about the importance of the bible as an historical book. I told him about the uniqueness of the bible and all the prophecies in the bible that were written hundreds of years before and have been fulfilled...especially the prophecies regarding Jesus. I had his attention now. I encouraged him to read the bible for himself and God would begin to reveal himself to him. I really believe that as I pray for him the Holy Spirit will prompt him to read the bible. If you don't mind, call out Andrean's name in prayer today. Pray with me that he will read God's Word. The bible says it will not return void. I know it will change his life like it has changed mine and yours through the Spirit of God.

Have a great day!
