A Neighborly GodStop

Kempton & I experienced a GodStop this week. We have an older man living next to us who is pretty quiet & reserved. About a week ago, I noticed several people coming & going and cleaning up outside his home. I got really concerned because I didn’t see our neighbor. I thought he may have passed and I felt terrible that we didn’t get a chance to share the Gospel with him. Well, on Monday, we saw our neighbor taking a walk with someone assisting him and he was using a nasal cannula. Kempton immediately went outside to officially introduce himself (I had already met him) and found out that our neighbor had a major lung surgery (he said due to many years of smoking). Later that day, Kempton took over our contact info if he ever needed anything. Before he left, he prayed for them (the neighbor’s ex-wife and sister were also present) and shared the Gospel. He then asked if he could serve them in any way. The neighbor said he wanted to hang the American Flag up on his house, but was unable to attach the holder. Kempton eagerly did that for him (see above pic). So, not only was our neighbor alive, God gave us an opportunity to share the Gospel with him and show him the love of Jesus. God is Faithful!
