Unforgettable Outreach Moments

Today we made phone calls to ads on backpage.com offering resources and prayer during a New-Name Ministry Call Center in South Barrington. Out of the 16 phone calls, during a particular call we prayed with a girl and I noticed she was in the car  with a friend. As usual we made the next call to another random ad. The next phone call went as follows:

Us: "Hi, my name is -------, we saw ads you had posted and are wondering if we could pray for you or help you with any resources?" 

Girl:"yah, I just prayed with you as you were on the phone with my friend and wanted to know if you can pray for me too?" So we laughed with pure joy out loud at the coincidence and prayed together again. What are the chances that the ads pulled and printed to call from days prior would be dialed to two ladies in the same car resulting in out loud laughter and encouragement!

 As volunteers serving, we believe we can "do" all things through Christ that strenghtens us, but more importantly, that those we serve can do all things through Christ who strengthens them...
