A friend of ours named Audley joined us
for his first prayer station several weeks ago and he had a pretty incredible
encounter out on the street. He met a man named John who seemed to have a heavy
heart. John began to explain his situation to Audley and said that he was
having a lot of problems with his marriage. He is an American but his wife is
from Ethiopia. The cultural differences have been causing a lot of tension,
and to make things worse, she has been struggling with suicidal thoughts.
While he was sharing,
Audley interrupted him in the middle of his sentences and asked him, “Do you
know a girl named Krystal?” John took a step back, surprised by his question
and said, “Yes, I do.” Audley followed up by asking, “Is she a short
black girl?” John said, “Yeah… actually she is.” Audley said, “You’re never going
to believe this, but my friend Krystal has been telling me to pray for her
friend named John, who's been having trouble with his marriage because
his wife is from Ethiopia!” It turns out that Audley and John had a mutual
friend who had been telling Audley to pray for John. That day Audley
actually got to meet the man that he was praying for on the streets!
It was a God thing.
John was blown away and
said, “Wow, there are millions of people in this city and you just so happened to
meet me out here today.” Audley said, “Yep, God must be up to something!”
Audley ministered powerfully to John that day and, when he left, he said;
“Now I have something to smile about.”
