They have to search secretly. And so I remember, I mean, we put it in the book that we were coming back from the Middle East on a jet in March of 2013, and I was wearing a shirt I would never wear in the Middle East, but we were working with an English-speaking international church, and we would go there for about two months at a time, Miriam and I,

And there was a precious family from Mexico that we just loved. And on our last day that we were there on that trip, they wanted to take us out to eat. And then their young son gave me a shirt. And it had John 316 in big letters on the back. And so I wore it to honor him. They took us to the airport, and I wore it into the airport, and I wore it on the plane.

Now, I don't recommend wearing witness gear in the middle of the Middle East. I think there are better ways to witness than a shirt. But I remember on the plane, I got up to go to the restroom, and a man on the plane said, A Muslim man, he just kind of stopped me as I was going down the aisle. And he said, excuse me, sir, I saw your shirt. Could I have five minutes of your time?

And so I remember I just said, yes, I'll be back. And I went to the restroom. Then I went and sat down by Miriam and I said, listen, please pray because I don't know. where this guy's coming from. I don't know if he's radical. I don't know if he's angry. I don't know what he was respectful in the question, but please pray for me to have wisdom.

And I sat down with this man and it was just, it was so beautiful brand. And he, he basically said that he really was searching for truth, but it, but it was a secret search. It wasn't something that he could share with other people. And I was so fascinated, brother. He had even read one of Tim Keller's books. Wow.

Yeah, I don't remember which one it was, but I just so happened in the providence of God to have with me Keller's book, The Prodigal God. And so I gave that to him. And we exchanged emails. And so he's just one example. Here's another example of a seeking, secretly seeking Muslim. So we're blessed to travel a lot to the country of Jordan and work with refugees from Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
