God moves mountains to reach the individual

Fall has started which means we are back on the college campuses. 

Our Fall Face to Face internship has recently started. One of our interns is a guy named Alex. Alex grew up in a radical Muslim family in Oman. He was sent to school in Pakistan as his father wanted him to become a radical as well. Long story short, Alex ended up at one point coming to the states and a man handed him a gospel tract at a pivotal point in his faith journey, and Alex came to know Christ. I met him one day when I was doing evangelism, we went out for coffee, shared about our Face to Face internship, and he "reluctantly" decided to do it. I say reluctant because he his very nervous to share his faith with people given his background, but especially to Muslims. Yesterday was his second time out with us and we were on a college campus. First lady who approached us was from Saudi Arabia, Muslim, and was searching for answers! It was as if God literally sent her to Alex. They spoke for over an hour. It was his first time sharing the gospel with a Muslim other than some of his close family members. As we debriefed our time, he was overcome with joy at what just happened, and he was so encouraged to continue the conversation with this lady. God still moves mountains to reach the individual. That is the lesson Alex took away from yesterday with us.
