A Spiritual Driver's Exam
Nine months ago, the police informed me that my U.S. driver’s license was no longer recognized in France. So, despite over 15 years of driving experience, I had to apply to take the driver’s exams.
This included over 10 hours with a driving instructor, Darius.* During my time with him, a conversation about spirituality and philosophy came up.
“I feel like France has lost her soul,” Darius told me. “There is a real spiritual poverty in France today.”
I invited Darius to the philosophy club hosted by our teammates. I also gave him a copy Josh McDowell’s More Than a Carpenter. Darius said he appreciated the book because it would help to “widen his horizons.”
Just after I finished my driving instruction with Darius, our teammate Allie also needed to prepare for the driver’s exam and had Darius as her instructor as well. Allie gave him a philosophy club flyer. Darius came and had a great time.
Praise the Lord with us. The Lord is working. Even through driver’s license exams.
Pray With Us
- Pray for our friends like Darius, that they will be moved by God's love and will follow Jesus.
- Pray for the Lord to soften the hearts of the French people.
