God at work in Williamsport, PA

Yesterday I was returning from speaking at Lamoka Baptist Camp’s “Teen No Retreat” and stopped for dinner in Williamsport. This is a regular place for us to stop and have dinner when we are traveling through the area, so I know the manager and many of the waitresses by name. Over the years, I have shared the Gospel with many of the ladies and left them Gospel literature and a great tip. Yesterday I had a waitress I had never seen before. Her name was Lisa. I asked if she was new and she said she had been working some day shifts there as the hostess, for the past year and tended bar at night some place else. The management asked her if she’d consider being a server and she agreed to do it every other Saturday. Yesterday was her first day in this position.

As I finished dinner and was waiting for the check, another waitress whom we have known since 1989 saw me and came over to the table to say “hi” and catch up. Her name is Rhonda. She was so excited and asked me if I remembered giving another waitress named Marcy a “One Second After You Die” booklet some time ago. I said I did remember and at that time I also got a chance to share the Gospel with the manager, Fred, and gave him the same booklet. Rhonda told me that Marcy read the booklet and God was working in her heart. She knew that Rhonda was a believer and was asking her all kinds of spiritual questions. Rhonda said that, “Marcy is really seeking God.” She added that Marcy has come to church with Rhonda for the past three weeks! PTL! I also found out that Rhonda’s father is a Baptist Minister. Why that didn’t come up in conversation over the years I don’t know, but I gave her my card and asked her to speak with her Dad about what I do and to check out my website. She agreed. Lord willing, I’ll be sharing the MAD Live Event in that church at some point. Please pray for Marcy’s conversion.
