Yesterday, in Newark Airport, I was the only person in line at the food court and was enjoying joking around with the workers behind the counter at the Mexican restaurant. "You're very cheerful," one lady said. "Where are you going today that makes you so happy?" I told her that I was going to a pastor's meeting in Florida, whereupon she shared that her mother is a pastor and asked where my church is. When I said "Dunellen," she laughed and told me she lives in Plainfield. I asked if she goes to church and she said "No, I just moved here from California." I joked some more about how nice it was to find a friendly person working at the airport, and went to eat my lunch.
After finishing my Taco Salad, I realized that I'd left one thing undone, so I headed back to the counter with one of our "Relationship Principles" invitations and said "If you're free some Sunday, I'd sure love to have you come and be our guest." She was all smiles, and as I walked away I saw her showing the card to all of the other workers at her counter - reading it together.
Do you have your invite card with you today? How about slipping one or two in your pocket or purse. You never know what opportunity God will provide.
Please pray that God will work to bring some of those folks to worship on Sunday, and that while they are with us they will begin or deepen a relationship with Jesus - the most important relationship of all.
