Landra is a middle-aged woman who’s prone to disruptive behavior and angry outbursts concerning political events. People tend to avoid her, fearing her explosive temper. She has begun to stop by an area where she first encountered a group of believers who were offering hot drinks, conversations, and prayer. When she approaches the believers, her anger seems to be simmering beneath the surface. It seems that some part of her is interested in connection. Perhaps it’s because she sees people who are caring for others, or perhaps she would just like to be an influence. One of the believers had a long conversation with her recently. Phone numbers were exchanged. Many text messages have been passed between the two. Landra asked if they could meet for coffee soon. The believer is hoping to use this opportunity to go below the surface and discover “the real Landra” and be able to share the hope that lies only in Jesus, the Savior. Pray that as they meet and continue to communicate, Landra will come to know the love and grace of God in a profound way.
