During our time here in Austria, we have been continually ministering to a Syrian refugee family. We had connected with them during an outreach that we were a part of at Vienna Christian Center. We hadn’t seen or heard from them in a while, so with the coronavirus crisis we reached out to them to reconnect and see if they needed anything. Unfortunately the number we had for them was out of service and we had no way to get in touch with them other than knowing their last place of address.
Without a correct phone number and uncertain of whether or not they still lived in the same apartment, Caleb still felt led to make a trip out their way the day before Easter Sunday. He went to a grocery store nearby where we thought they still lived to pick up some groceries for them, and during his trip he ran into his friend! This was back during the time when people weren’t going to the store as often because of quarantine restrictions. Caleb was only in the store for 10 minutes - what a God divine appointment! After talking to his friend, Caleb found out that the family had moved into a different place down the street from their old apartment. This was a great opportunity to explain that this meeting was not by accident and that the Holy Spirit led him to be at the store at the right time to run into his friend. Caleb was able to bring the groceries to the family, visit with them, and share with them about the Resurrection of Jesus.
May we be sensitive to His Holy Spirit every day and we pray God bless your daily routines with divine appointments to share His love with the world!
