Finding God's Family in a Cab

Taking an opportunity to share the gospel, I was beaten to the punch line.

The other day, three friends and I hailed a cab. When it arrived, the four of us jumped in. Sensing our haste, the driver told us not to rush, to take it easy.

We didn't go a block away when we passed by a road accident. We saw a car with its front-end bashed in. Thankfully no one was injured and apparently the driver of that car was just standing around waiting for help to arrive.

I saw an opportunity to share the gospel with our cab driver, mentioning how life is so unpredictable.

Before I could say anything else, he started right in sharing his testimony about how wonderful Jesus Christ is, making him a new man. For a long time, he'd been addicted to gambling. He'd lost tens of thousands of dollars. His wife was so desperate that she tried to commit suicide. Their 8-year-old daughter (who had accepted Jesus as her Savior at her school) hung on to her mother and prevented her from jumping off their window ledge. Soon afterwards, the mother started going to church and accepted Jesus as her Savior and Lord.

Some time later, the father became a Christian also. He was, by the grace of God, able to break his gambling addiction. He said how merciful God was that He'd placed his daughter in the right place in the time of crisis to "save the day."

Now, the driver joyfully shares his testimony with his passengers and gives them Christian literature to read.

God is amazing. When I asked our driver which church he attended, he mentioned one of the names of our CB churches. What a small world God's family is!
