Gospel Opportunity

Before Dennis left for Alaska his prayer was to connect with someone and build a relationship. Over the summer the Samaritan's Purse workers have been praying for someone to connect with Nick. The first day of work Dennis was assigned to work on Nick's house because he has roofing experience. Nick is quite fussy who works on his house and Dennis is one of the few that he has allowed to return to continue working. The first week he watched Dennis very very carefully and instructed him how to do the job. By the second week a trust had been built and Dennis could freely work - more work got done in less time, too. During this time a friendship bond has been growing. Back home I knew that his desire had been for building a relationship so it has been exciting to hear the stories of this growing relationship. I began to pray for Dennis to have the opportunity to share his testimony. His phone call home today was with great joy as he was able to share his testimony on coming to know Jesus with Nick. And Nick receiving what Dennis shared with an openness. A sweet friendship has occurred and I suspect that somewhere in our future will be a return trip to Eagle. Things wind down this weekend and Dennis and Roger will prepare to fly out on Monday. They hope to spend some time in Anchorage before their flight leaves. They fly overnight and arrive in Chicago Tuesday morning....a long night....and Dennis thinks he's going to work on Wednesday. Watch for some pictures this next week!
