I took the opportunity to say hi to my neighbors this afternoon. They're a family that I have seen out in their yard periodically and always waived and said hi to, but never formally met.
They have a couple of sons that are about my age and they were working on their truck in the driveway and I went over and introduced myself.
We talked about cars for a while and they helped me rotate my tires. Afterwards, the younger brother pulled me aside and said that he wanted to talk about something.
He said his father is Pakistani and a devout Islam. The brother accepted Christ 6 months ago and he and the rest of his family have been fighting over religion and that he was really struggling. He shared some other things, and I asked him if I could pray for him, and we did.
I invited him to call anytime, that I'd love to hang out and work on cars, or run or whatever.
It was such a cool blessing to see God at work, but I do want to lift my new friend Elheed up in prayer, that God will give him wisdom when speaking to his family, and that his fathers heart would be opened to Christ. I also pray courage for him to continue to walk and grow with Christ and that he would find a church to get plugged into.
