The Good Samaritan story is pretty well known. This week I spoke to the man who led me to Christ 31 years ago. He lives in Toledo, Ohio. He is planting a church and working part time at a bookstore. He is 62 years old and has a great passion to reach out to his community. I became a Christian because he reached out to me. He invited me to lift weights with him and another guy in his garage. Pretty soon he was inviting me over for pizza (which of course worked well for me)! Eventually he invited me to church and shared Jesus with me. I became a follower of Jesus because he reached out to me. I don't talk to Ed Young much anymore. But every time I do, I cannot help but get choked up. I thank him for sharing Jesus with me. I thank him for serving me when no one really cared about me. At the end of October, I will be celebrating my 31st year of being a follower of Jesus. Almost every year in October I call and thank Ed Young for sharing Jesus Christ with me. Just think; God has someone out there for you to serve and share Christ with!
