M, is waiting in the line at Starbucks while his sister and mother shop, and he allows a new friend to treat him for his cup of tea. He says with a smile that now that the university has started its summer break, he is used as the permanent driver for the ladies in his house. During the conversation he speaks of a wish for a chance to continue studies in another country. "More time for me, and less demands to the tasks/duties that are upon a young man, who is part of a large family with lots of family obligations".
As the conversations turns to his ideas about sin, and he is surprised to hear some stories of the Bible. He learns that some of his prophetic heroes are involved in sinful behaviors. He makes a striking comment, "Am I perhaps being taught the wrong information?" The normal response would have been to reject a different opinion, but he seemed to be willing to consider others. Since that conversation, via what's app he has received some of those biblical stories so he can read them for himself. Trusting that this was an encounter arranged by God, please pray for M that he will respond to God's call to follow Him.

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.... his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday." - Psalm 91:1-6
