It is so cool to just be Jesus with skin on wherever we go in the world. I shared the fact that we were missionaries in Poland with Liz, who owns the small guest house we are staying in. She asked if we could pray that her daughter’s car would work before she gets back from university. I told her, of course, that we would, and in fact, we did. I pray that even this answered prayer would be a witness to the power of Jesus Christ. We also went to a small restaurant near where we are staying. We went for fish and chips because we knew it would be less expensive than other restaurants in town, but they were out. They had a lot of ethnic-type foods (which we ordered) and we could tell that the two guys behind the counter were of Middle Eastern descent, yet both spoke with thick British accents. One of them took a liking to us right away. He began to ask questions about where we were from. We shared with him for a bit. I decided to give him a small tip, even though I know in that sort of restaurant, it is not expected. He was genuinely kind to us. I saw that his arms were tattooed, as mine are. So I felt prompted to go back after we got to our room, and give him one of my CD’s. I asked him if he liked rock music, specifically metal. He said that he did and started naming bands that he liked. I knew that if he liked those bands, he would enjoy the music of “Reckless Abandon,” so I handed him the CD and told him it was original music from my brother and I in America. He seemed blown away, jutted out his hand over the counter to shake my hand. I know that there was a connection made. I prayed as I headed back to the room that the lyrics of those songs would speak to his heart and that he would be drawn closer to Jesus through them. Once again, Jesus with skin on. One person at a time, for the Kingdom of God.
