A plethora of cultures

Today, I met Hobitu (sp?) as a friendly international on the train. I lives in LA, but was stopping for a meeting in Chicago for the computer science company he works for. Then, when I mentioned why I am in the city, I found out that he is a Hindu. When pressed to go into detail about his beliefs, he couldn't. All he seemed to understand in Hinduism is that the spiritual is valued over the physical, and a person's goal is to eventually become entirely spiritual. He questioned me on the what the differences are between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. God allowed me to help him see the differences while focusing on the main issue of who Jesus is. A good prophet or God? I encouraged him to at least read the Bible, and when asked why, I through God's power was able to explain why the Bible is such a unique book contrasted to all other religions' holy books. Pray that he'll read it!

Wow! You have had so many amazing opportunities! I am praying that God will give you many, many more. I am looking forward to hearing more about how God is using you to tell others about Jesus.
