(van-COO-ver) – When the IMB missionary lost touch with her friend, she thought she would never see her again. Tina had been enthusiastic about learning about Jesus. She regularly attended a Bible study, asked many questions, and read the Bible on her own. Then she stopped returning text messages. Having no other way to reach Tina, the missionary gave the situation to the Lord and prayed for her. Months later, the missionary went downtown for medical results. After picking up the results, she was standing in line for the bus and saw a familiar face. When she called out her name, it was confirmed that it was, indeed, Tina! Both women were amazed that they would run into each other after months of being out of contact in such a big city. Tina even confessed that she had stopped praying and reading her Bible and had recently told her fiancé that she missed the small group and missed feeling close to God. The missionary was able to share with Tina how the Lord was using a difficult health situation to ordain their meeting. Praise the Lord for His plans and providence! Pray that this encounter will have eternal impact on Tina’s life, her fiancé, and their friends as she shares the testimony of how God sees and loves her, and how the Lord has His hand on her life.
