Day 32 and I spent way too much of it talking to me new friend 'Derek' in India!
Derek is really Saransh my Microsoft tech support help who I got to know over 1 hour and 30 minutes tonight - the guy is a daft Manchester Utd fan. It was fun talking football with a fellow Man Utd fan as we waited my computer being fixed - fortunately it was successfully fixed before we moved on to talking cricket and why India easily beat England in the last 20 overs world cup. Phew.
But as I sat on the phone with 'Derek' I began to think about my intentional following of Jesus today and I felt tugged to interrupt our football chat and begin asking him about Jesus eventually leading him in the sinners prayer. I could see it all happen before my eyes.
But I didn't.
It wasn't because of fear, or of preferring to talk about football, rather I just don't like tele-sales evangelism. It's so American capitalism, so tacky, so the reason why most decent people have called ID.
So I didn't tele-sales him Jesus, rather I prayed Jesus over him - 13,000 miles away.
I'm so glad God is everywhere. I'm so glad He has given His Spirit into the world for this very purpose.
Following the way of Jesus can sometimes take on too much of an American flavor to it - I think 'Derek' and Jesus would prefer we went with the supernatural God methods rather then the slick consumer methods of our culture.
