The Argentinian Preacher

I met a young man on the roof of one of my inspections.  He represented a roofing company that was assisting the homeowner.  He didn't seem to have a great deal of knowledge concerning roofs at the time. However, during the inspection, he would interlace his conversation with religious terms and sayings.  Based on his accent, I believed that he might be from a Latin American country. I began asking direct questions concerning Catholic theology. He was very knowledgeable on the subject but spoke as if it were not a faith that he practiced. I quickly learned that the young man Jonathan was an evangelical Christian.  

Since our first meeting, I was able to not only share an English version of a study Bible with him but also a Spanish version for him and his mother.  I've since become good friends with Jonathan Resquin from Argentina.  He is not only a pastor at his church but also does work as a translation pastor.  He has assisted me with translation many times and was even able to share the gospel with the homeowner at one inspection. How did God know I needed a good friend like Jonathan.  And to meet him on a roof, wow! I love the sovereignty of the Lord.
