Rice and Beans of Life: Johnny and Co.

Johnny and Co ... fillin our tank and more! Our travels are long, Olaf's tank is small ... therefore we frequent the local gasolinera multiple times a week. Sometimes we visit this gas station various times in one day with different base vehicles. It was evident the first time we met Johnny that he was full of Christs love and bold in sharing his faith. Johnny was an easy friend. His curiosity probed him to ask about all the vehicles we visit him with. We briefly shared our testimony and the ministry God has called us to work with. The rest is history ... no matter the time of day or night, Johnny faithfully pumps our gas tank full and fills our hearts with words of life and encouragement ... "the mouth speaks what the heart is full of!" (Luke 6:45). The "Co." part of this gives testimony to Johnny's bold faith. Because of his boldness, tender spirit and kindness, we are building relationships with many of the other workers at the gas station. They see us coming and greet us with a welcoming smile, kindness, and words of encouragement as they fill our tank. Wait ... aren't we the ones who are to be bringing encouragement, hope and life to CR? Father's faithfulness ... He is filling our tanks to continue bringing life to those we meet where He has planted us!

His ways are higher ... Humbled by His love ... Filled up on The Word
