He arrived this morning.  Sent here by his pastor.  Was a student at the University seven years ago.  Living in a dorm on campus.  Two young ladies from Campus Crusade knocked on his door.  Shared the gospel with him.  Accepted the Lord Jesus as his Savior.  Became active in Campus Crusade.  Grew spiritually.  But then it slowly happened.  Busy with school.  Busy with other things.  Life interfered.  God got left out.  

He's not happy with the way things are.  Wants to come back to God.  Pastor sent him to us.  Shiloh exists for people like him.  Spent some time counseling him this morning.  He's an avid reader.  Busy devouring books on prayer and on our life in Christ.  Amazed with what he is already discovering.  Will be here until Sunday.  Promised to pray for him.  Couldn't believe we would pray for someone like him.

This Christian life is full of ups and downs.  Bumps in the road.  We fall off the straight and narrow.  We've all done it.  We're perfectly imperfect in every way.  He's no different than the rest of us.  But the road back to God is short.  He's just a prayer away.  In fact, He's been there all along.
