The Lepers Who Found Treasure

And when these lepers came to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent and ate and drank, and they carried off silver and gold and clothing and went and hid them. Then they came back and entered another tent and carried off things from it and went and hid them. Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come; let us go and tell the king's household.”
2 Kings 7:8-9 

"At first, the lepers' self-centered disregard for other people was terrible. They cram themselves with food while storing as much spoil as they can. At least in the middle of it all they realized their mistake. Even more concerning is the fact that their actions reflect that of many Christians who reap the rewards of salvation but never spread the gospel to people around them who are in desperate need of the truth. May the Lord help all believers understand their responsibility to spread the gospel to a dying and lost world."

This kiosk is starting to seem like a fantastic platform for sharing the gospel. It is somewhat secluded and always crowded. The ambience aids in focusing attention on the message without distraction. Surrounded by an ample garden with a fountain and children's playground, this small structure has become more than just a resting spot—it’s a place where the good news of the Gospel can be shared.

The open-air setting gives a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Families stroll by, students sit after class, vendors within earshot, and children play in the distance. Amid this backdrop, this kiosk stands as a venue that can be used to present Christ to the people. There are always people passing through, and they often come in to sit,—not because of the kiosk, but because of the message being heard there. This is where strangers for a time, become listeners. It may be just a common place to some, but to many who sit to listen, it’s become a place to hear the one life-changing truth: Christ died for the ungodly.

We proceeded to a local diner to share a meal as the rain started and opted to ride out despite the now heavy downpour. What should have been a 20-minute scooter ride ended up taking an hour and a half under the rain, caught in traffic that was at a standstill. My spirit was singing all the way home even though we were soaked. We arrived home safe just in time for our 8PM prayer meeting.
