30th October 2023 - I thought my new blue denim dungarees would give a non religious clerical look to travel in (I've always wanted a pair since being a fan of Kevin Rowland of Dexys Midnight Runners in the sixth form). My attire facilitated two great Gospel conversations by the time my head hit the pillow in Calpe in Spain.
The first was with Rita (pictured below) who I talked with for the duration of the 2.5 hour flight to Alicante (her partner, Stan, slept through most of it). As I took my seat next to her on the plane, she turned to me and said "are you a Christian?" to which I replied "how do you know?" She told me that her two sisters were Christians to which I replied "why don't you give your life to Christ and then God will have the set?" to which she shook her head vigorously and said "never!"
She was concerned about one sister who she thought was "just Church of England" but "has recently started talking in the tongues - do you speak in the tongues?" We talked about the charismata (and I shared recent testimonies of prophecy and healing). She said that she'd be interested in "getting one" (a prophecy) so I asked the Lord for one and shared it with her. She kept saying "that was from God - that could only be God. God is really real"
After hearing more of the Gospel she told me that she was going to pray before bed to give her life over to Christ.
