Day 335: Pro-life

He was a young guy, standing next to a little white car, at the Park City QuikTrip. He immediately said I could pray for him. Then he asked about my project. He said it was fitting that we should meet like that because he'd had a strange night. He was supposed to hang out with a girl that night, but it didn't work out. So he found himself walking alone and praying. That turned out to be a good thing. And then I showed up.

The guy's name was John. And as it turns out, he's in ministry with a pro-life group in Wichita. We talked for quite a while about his organization -- Justice for All -- and how it operates. Basically, he says, it trains pro-lifers "how not to be weird" as they spread the word about their cause. I agree fully in the cause and was glad to hear about what they were doing.

John, himself, was a really engaging guy -- one of those who probably rarely holds things back. And he's a thinker. We talked about how he once witnessed to an atheist college professor who eventually became a Christian and how he's working on some other things in his life. I'm just glad to have met him. And I'll keep praying for him.
