Taxi

We are well known by the taxis in our area (we live in a small city), since we have shared the gospel or at least gave a tract to most of them. But this time wasn’t one of them.

My wife took a cab and she told our son to sit well to prevent an accident. The driver nodded and reached to touch a small cross glued in his dashboard. “So you are a believer?” my wife asked.

The conversation started. He was raised catholic and goes to church like once a month, which is very comendable in this culture. My wife asked what do they teach him or what have he learned. He replied that when he was younger he learned the cathequism and went thru the gospels.

“From all of that, what does it mean for you?” she asked. The driver thought for a few seconds and said that he had no clue.

At this point, God had already provided traffic due to some work being done in the street. What normally would be a 5 minute ride, was already like 15. My wife said, “would you mind if I explain you?” To what the driver replied with openness, “go ahead please.”

“If you die today, you will be judged by God’s standards, the 10 Commandments.” Then she took him thru and explained each of the commandments. He agreed to have broken all of then and saw the beauty of God’s provision for salvation in Jesus Christ.

It all made sense to him. My wife explained repentanceas he listened attentively. In the end of the conversation, she touched on the worship of Mary and the Saints without the need of going in depths or Catholicism. She simply exposed him to his sin (using the Law) and his need of a Savior.

Please keep this man in prayer and be attentive, you can share the gospel in every and any situation.

Thanks for reading.
