I have been attending a small Southern Baptist church for about 3 years or more. This is what is know as a church plant started by the Pittsburgh-Southern Baptist Association. They help fund the start up of it and help oversee it until it is able to stand as a Church. The Pastor is about 38 years old, he and his wife have spent several years on the mission field in the Soviet Union. He is from South Carolina and she is from the Pittsburgh area. Their parents are getting up in age and requested to stay in the states for awhile. We have really enjoyed attending the church. We do not have a building so therefore we meet at a local inn near Latrobe, PA. Last Sunday a little lady (who has been attending also for about 3 years) ask us what our last name was. I told her my name. She began to tell me she belonged to the Presidential Prayer Team ( http://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ppt_homepage ) which is a non-partisan web site that people join free and pray for our nation, leaders, and our military. They also have what is called adopt a troop part of the site where members can list a solder and have people pray for them on a regular basis. She told me she had a solder's name and has been praying for him for over a year, I wonder if you might know (and I interrupted and said stated my son's name) she said yes. I began to tremble because I knew God was speaking to me directly through this woman. This was no accident! This was a God incident! I told her he was recently activated and due to go to Iraq in September. Well she was just as shocked and moved as I was. The bottom line is, I was going to church with this lady totally unaware God was working through her to pray for a member of my family. Isn't God awesome, just when we sometimes wonder if he even knows we exist he takes the time to just blow us down with His love and compassion. I still am not over it! What else can I say.
