7/4/13 Go Forth and Make... Friends?

My Spanish teacher is truly amazing. She has such a passion for sharing God's word. She is so fearless! She always has eyes to see who needs prayer and it is incredible to see her at work. One of my favorite things that we do in class with her is to go out on prayer walks. The purpose of these prayer walks are to explore the neighborhood, memorize our Spanish Bible verses, and pray for people that we have conversations with.

Just from walking around the neighborhood, we have had the opportunity to meet some pretty amazing people and to talk about Jesus! We've met a man who is trying to return to the United States in order to be back with his family in Long Beach, California, the nicest women who make the best and biggest quesadillas that I have ever seen, and another guy who just wanted prayer for his family.

From our prayer walks, I've learned the importance of just being available and attentive; available for God's use and attentive to the needs of the people around you. It doesn't take much to make a difference in another person's life. You just need to be ready.
