Was It Worth The Delay?

Operation Joy Reflects…

Sometimes Paul's routine is changed through unexpected events. This week he had to postpone Outreach in Manchester for a day, then as he left the house his wife, Angie asked him to post a birthday card. So Paul walked into town and on the way he met T who he has visited regularly. He arranged to call the following day and T got the bibles out that he had recently given her (one in Hungarian) saying how appreciative she as.

As Paul arrived in town he saw D for the first time since his birthday and was able to pass on a card to him. In Manchester B (an Irish Traveller) remembered Paul from a few months before when he had prayed for her. Paul reflected that though he had to delay outreach for a day these encounters were worth the wait.
