Pray for Mr. Barber

After waking up this morning, on the way to work at an English camp, I prayed to God to prepare me, and to give me opportunities to share the Gospel. I had a great time at the camp, but had no opportunity to share...in fact, I had forgotten that I had even prayed for an opportunity to share until after my Thursday night English class. My barber, who lives in a nearby town, came by to pick up his two children from my class. He has some relatives who had come to follow Jesus, and tonight he was inquiring himself into what following Christ was all about. So I shared with him...I told him about the great God that created the world and about Jesus Christ, God's son, who came to die for our sins. I then shared with him how God had changed my life. He really seemed like he wanted to follow Christ. Please be praying for him and his family. I told him that following Christ is not easy...if he follows Christ, he will be persecuted. I also encouraged him to talk with his family (his 2 children have already been shared with quite a bit), because following Christ as a family would be best. Please be praying for this family. The 2 kids names are Nan (girl, 15 or so), and Baln (boy, 12 or so). As I gave them some materials to take a look at, pray that their hearts will be convicted, and that the Holy Spirit will lead them to follow Christ.
