Treasure Hunting

Port's "Treasure Map"

Yesterday in cluster we read through Luke 10 and were discussing the different ways we are called to go share the Good News.  One of the methods we discussed was called "Treasure Hunting."  This is where we pray and ask the Lord to give us clues leading us to people that He wants to demonstrate His love to.  We had Port participate in this by asking him to draw pictures of what the Lord was showing him.  Port's clues were the mall, airplane, squirrel, and hands.  Whitney also had airplane and I had a flagpole, so we took a group to Ozzies (the restaurant at the airport).  We were able to pray for our waitress.  She fit our clues of red shirt, heart necklace, hands (she was serving us).  She asked us to pray for patience and she left us in tears.  Our other encounter was with a family waiting to be seated. They fit our clues of brown hair and brown shirt and white jacket.  When we asked if we could pray for them they said yes!  We prayed for their grandfather, Bob (which was a clue), who was in the hospital with a heart condition (another clue).  It was not only exciting to see how faithful God is, but to see that He is using Port in powerful ways.  It was great watching Whitney and Shannon share Jesus with others, their boldness is truly a reflection of the heart of Jesus!
