Reaching the nations....

One sunny Saturday morning in Flushing a man named Kais stopped by our prayer station. Seeing the table covered with literature he walked over to Amy and asked if we had anything in Bengali, his native tongue. Amy chatted with Kais for a few minutes and found out that he is Muslim and lives with his family in the Bronx. Then she checked in our mixed language box and found a stack of Bengali tracts! We don't meet people from Bangladesh very often, so it was a big deal that we "happened" to have Bengali tracts out with us that day. After Amy handed Kais the gospel tract, he pulled from his pocket a tract in English he received a few weeks prior. He could not read English and was carrying the tract around hoping to read it eventually. Though this seems like a small exchange, our team marveled afterward at God's timing and provision. Here a Muslim man from Bangladesh received a gospel tract in a foreign language and had a desire to read it. Through the prayer station and our team being available, Kais was able to get a tract in his own language. We continue to pray that the Truth written on the small pamphlet will pierce his heart and bring revelation of who God is. "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
