God never ceases to amaze and surprise me. I just never know what He's gonna do next, what He will teach me or how exactly He is gonna work. And, I like that.
Like on Tuesday, Mar 3. Steve, Juan Carlos and I set out to take pictures of the campus and some students for a STINT video to be sent to Canada. We ended up meeting up with one of Steve's disciples, Joel, and took some pictures with him and two of his friends. This photo-shoot evolved into a gospel presentation, and both Abdiel and Karleen, two law students at the Universidad de Panama, accepted Jesus as their Saviour.
And today. I hung out with my friend Brooke, and we toured Casco Viejo (old quarter of Panama City, that has amazing architecture). We ended up talking with a lady named Mary Jo, walked amongst the buildings with her and conversed over some delicious gelato. Brooke and I were able to be a blessing to her, share our faith in a very relational way and talk about spiritual things in a laid back manner. Neither of us expected to meet her and be able to be such a tangible representation of Jesus and His love to her.
" ...keep your hearts at attention, in adoration before Christ your Master. Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you're living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy." 1 Pet 3:25 Message
You just never know, so be ready.

i love reading your stories Karina. He is such an amazing God, but I worry often about how many opportunities I or other Christians miss to bring the gospel to non believers. It scares me a bit to think that I may be so consumed and busy in my own world to notice these people that God may be placing in front of me... I hope that I haven't missed anything major. Thanks for posting all these wonderful stories. I love to read them!
Hey Chantelle!
Thanks so much for your comment - its very encouraging to hear :).
It for sure is a bit scary for us and others, about those possible opportunities we may miss...but, each day we get another chance to practice,and surrender our lives up so we can be used. It also speaks to the importance of being filled with His Spirit each day - I'm so thankful for His Help and Guidance!!
