dreams and visions

Jeff is out in Uttar Pradesh this week joining a group from the US in medicals camps, evangelism and planning in how to reach the Indians in that area.  Amazing things have been going on out there.  Below is a story from one of the men that is apart of the group. 

Scott Russell, one of the staff from E3 Partners led a trip in Andhra Pradesh and then took a train here. On the train they were sitting near a young lady who's a Brahmin and an aeronautical engineering student. They were joking around and laughing and having a good time. He started sharing the gospel using an evangecube. Her eyes good real big and she said, "My life is about to change in a big way." She explained that before they got on the train, she'd been on there for 10 hours and that 2 hours before they got on she'd had a dream that white people would come and share something with her on that train which would change her life. She had told her mom who was riding with her. As he shared the gospel, he turned to a panel that depicted Jesus on the cross. Her eyes got even bigger. She told them that as a small child she'd seen a vision of that exact image. Then she saw the same man dressed in a white robe offering her bread. She put her faith in Christ. They asked about her mother who had been laying down behind the curtain listening from a distance. The young lady said that she was a high caste Brahmin and probably wouldn't be interested. Still they shared the gospel and she too put her faith in Christ. Isn't it amazing how God worked things out ahead.
