Trey came back.  One or two weeks later, Trey responded to the message preached.  After the service in the hallway, Trey was led to Christ by Dennis.  Immediately we began follow-up.  We began to learn that Trey had some baggage in his past (just like the rest of us!).  Trey now has to face the consequences for some of his past actions.  But with Christ in his life, he now has the resources to persevere and overcome them!  

     Through my relationship with Trey, I was able to talk with his mom and dad regarding his recent troubles.  I reassured them of our commitment to help Trey.  They were touched by God's kindness through me.  They wanted to meet me.  

     Last night, I visited them in their home and was able to share the gospel with both of them because you just never know... until you speak up.  It turns out they claim to have already put their faith in Christ.  I was able to share with them that the same faith they have is the same faith their son, Trey, has now, too.  They have a peace that things will ultimately turn out OK.  And, they said, "Don't be surprised if we show up to your church sometime."  I left last night from their home, having made 2 new friends.

     You just never know what may come from a simple act of obedience - like attending a class called "Share Jesus without Fear" or showing up to the God-mobile and talking to somebody.  Now a whole family has been touched.  So, speak up.  Reach out.  Engage that neighbor, co-worker, or friend.  Take an interest in them.  You just never know how God may use you, too!
