Guatemala 08 God's timing is perfect

One of my favorite experiences that week was meeting Domingo. Domingo was an elderly man who lived in San Pablo where my team was holding VBS. The first day our bus was an hour late picking us up after VBS. As we were standing around waiting, Domingo walked up to us and wanted to show us his Bible. We realized that Domingo had a Jehovah’s Witness bible. He was a sincere man who genuinely wanted to know God. We offered to bring him a new Bible if he would give us his old one. He agreed. We returned the next day and it was obvious he was surprised but so grateful to see that we had come back to find him. We prayed with him, He accepted Christ and he eagerly traded his old bible for the true gospel! He immediately sat on his doorstep to read and when we looked back a few minutes later he was reading the Word of God to two young boys! God used a “late” bus to introduce us to a man who had nothing to do with our VBS plans so that he could come to know Christ and be an influence for Christ in his village. We came back to pray with Domingo each day, bring him and his wife food, and encourage him. It was such a powerful reminder that God was in control and had a plan far greater than we could see.
