Chris is a man with a passion for reaching others. He wants them to hear the good news about Jesus. Not only that, he also has a passion for helping other followers of Jesus do the same. This is very healthy!Chris founded The Light Project and was its director for eight years. His blog is refreshing and is packed with encouraging and challenging stories.
Here's an example, Chris felt he was supposed to find and pray for someone with lower back pain. He stood at a car wash looking out for this person...
Then I saw a young man, cool skater rags and plenty of piercings. I felt that he was the guy I should pray for.
A few minutes later I approached him and explained that I had felt God say that I should walk to the car wash and pray for someone with lower back pain. I asked if he was ok, and to be honest because of his age and ‘coolness’ I expected him to say yep, all was AOK.
Yet he looked stunned and said that this was ‘remarkable’ as he had been to the chiropractor for lower back pain. I asked if I could pray for his back and he said ‘yes please,’ but later as he was late for college. Non the less Phil and I said a very quick ‘non eye closing- get on your knees kind’ of prayer and asked Jesus to heal him.
The guy looked kind of shocked and I reassured him that God knew about him and his discomfort.
What do you think of my story? Coincidence or God?
Coincidence? I don't think so! The blog is fun to read but will also stop you in your tracks sometimes with an unexpected challenge or revelation.
But why take my word for any of this? Click the links and take a gander yourself. I may post again after meeting Chris and spending some time with him.
