Internet Cafe

This past week I have been able to have more access at the internet cafe here in the main town - which is such a blessing especially to communicate with friends and family. One of the first days I came I was so excited to check my e-mail that was all I was thinking about. Immediately one of the internet workers was asking what I was doing here and so I told him and was battling with should I share the gospel with him now or wait until after I check my e-mail. I decided to share with him and he accepted Jesus as His Saviour. His name is Kelvin and he is married. While I was sharing with him we were interrupted because more customers came. All of a sudden I heard someone saying hello to me - and it was an elderly man that recognized me from the medical clinics that we did the past two weeks. He was calling me "pastora" ha- because anyone that shares the gospel and is a female is known as a pastora.. oh wel. the elderly man came back after a few minutes and gave me a bag of avacados and thanking me for everything our team did.

After Kelvin was done with some of his customers he turned to me and asked me why am I here helping people. I sat there for a minute and the first thing that came to my mind is because I love Jesus. Even though that may sound cliche - that is the reason I am here. I am not doing this for my own good or self worth- but to bring glory to God! It made me think that people like Kelvin are looking at our lives- are you living a life that people would be able to look at and think - they are living their life for themselves or for others? Don't get me wrong there are plenty of times I live my life selfishly and I have been thinking about his question ever since.

I had told Kelvin to share with his wife and people he knew about what I had shared with him. A couple of days later I was able to return to the internet cafe and Kelvin was there with his wife. I talked to his wife for a little bit and Kelvin told me that he had shared with his wife the same good news I had shared with him!! It was so encouraging and I was very excited! Everyday here in the Philippines has been an adventure and God has given me so many opportunities! I am thankful for all the He is doing!
