Trip to Columbus

I realize that this is a little out of order with my previous post, but I just wanted to share a little bit about my trip to Columbus. Nationwide brought me up on Sunday. Instead of flying on the direct flight from Memphis to Columbus, I had to fly through Charlotte, NC and then on to Columbus. This was basically due to the fact that going through Charlotte saved about $800. Anyway, I wasn't all that excited about flying the extra flight, but God showed me why this was the way He wanted me to get there. First, on my flight from Memphis, I had the opportunity to sit next to a guy named Keith that lives in memphis. He and I had a conversation about multiple topics for the entire flight. I had the opportunity to share the Gospel with him toward the end of the flight and walk him through the Gospel. He was very open and even mentioned that he felt like God was trying to get his attention with me sitting next to him. He now knows how he can get eternal life and I have challenged him to ensure he takes possession of it for himself. I am hopeful that he and I can get together for lunch sometime and talk some more.
If that wasn't enough, on the second flight, I found myself sitting next to a Messianic Jewish rabbi. His name is Rabbi Kirt Schneider and he lives in Columbus and knows the pastor at Dublin Baptist Church, which is the local sponsoring church for Living Hope. Anyway, we had just a sweet time of fellowship on our flight. He was so encouraging to me. He prayed for me while we were flying and it was a wonderful, encouraging, uplifting prayer. He prayed so loud and so fervently that many people around us heard the prayers. It was really a neat thing. He actually has a TV program that airs on DirecTV on The Church Channel and NRB. His program is Discovering the Jewish Jesus. His website is www.discoveringthejewishjesus.com. I haven't checked the website out too much yet, but I plan on it. I also plan on looking him up once we are in Columbus. I think that he can certainly teach a lot about reaching out to the Jewish community.
