This Ramadan I really enjoyed getting out and talking to the heaps of very friendly people that were out breaking their fast and lounging around late into the night. To give you a feel of what talking to these people is like, here’s something that happened last week.

While walking through the busy park with my friend, I felt pulled towards a group of guys sitting in the midst of a cluster of people and benches. To be truthful, I was pretty doubtful anything good would happen because one of them looked exactly like the kind of guy who would not be very interested or friendly at all.

I started to tell him and his 3 friends about what I believed about God and what Jesus did for me. They leaned in and eagerly listened as I went on and on about Jesus’ love and sacrifice on the cross.

Years ago I couldn’t even imagine having conversations like this with random guys in crowded parks. God gladly and graciously teaches his people to reveal the depths of his mercy and grace that he’s stored up in the simple story of Christ.
