I met Terry a few weeks back when I sat down at a bar, ordered a diet pepsi and then prayed God would send somebody for me to talk with. He sent Terry to sit down beside me at the Brewbaker's Pub.
As you might recall, Terry said that he was interested in "being my first church member". We hit it off and Terry said he wanted to talk again at another time.
Last Sunday, was that other time. I invited Terry over to our home to enjoy some chili (made from chili mix sent up from the Bridger Sunday School class in Alabama). He loved the good ol' southern cooking and had never had chili with cornbread.
We then went downstairs and talked for two hours about life, love, God, and the Bible. As a matter of fact. I gave him his very first Bible. He had never seen the inside of a Bible ever before.
Terry was a little perplexed by all the little numbers and big numbers and different names at the top of each page. I explained to Terry how and where to read in his new Bible and most importantly I shared with Terry how to start a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Terry was not uninterested about a relationship with Jesus, but wanted to think about that decision a bit more. Terry said he would read his new Bible and talk more with me later.
We plan on getting together soon. Pray that the Holy Spirit would continue to touch Terry's life and call him to repentance.
