The Strangest Places

Sometimes God gives us opportunities to share our faith that we would never have imagined on our own. The following incident happened over a year ago to Ed but it’s too good not to share.


Ed had gone into the washroom in Humpty’s Restaurant and had just settled himself comfortably in a stall, when he heard someone else enter the washroom. A moment later a disembodied voice asked him, "Are you a biker?" He must have seen Ed before he went in, wearing his ever present jacket that says "Riding for the Lord" and his hat that says "Jesus First". Ed told him that he is indeed a biker. The man then asked him, "Are you a Christian?" Ed again told him that yes, he is. Ed asked him, "Are you a Christian?" The man hesitated, then said no he isn’t. "But I do carry a Bible with me and I go to church. I don’t know what’s wrong with me," he said wistfully. Ed said to him, "In that case, your next step is to ask Jesus into your heart and to give your life over to Him." "Yes," the man agreed. "Yes." As Ed tried to quickly get himself presentable to leave the stall, he heard the door open and close again. When he stepped back into the washroom, the room was empty and the man was gone. As he returned to the restaurant, Ed glanced around, trying to make eye contact with someone but no one looked at him. Ed left, never knowing who it was that he had spoken to, except that his name is Don.

The next time you are praying, please remember to add a prayer for Don. And never be afraid to share your faith, even in the strangest places.

1 Peter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
