I was out at Leopoldplatz with the YWAM team a few weeks ago hanging out and passing out flyers to this outreach cafe "Mittendrin."

We were inviting people to come eat and hang out with us...very simple.  I saw Diab was interested so I gave him the flyer. Since we were walking over right then, I invited him to walk over with us.  We chatted and walked together. He was an easy-going guy from Israel. I talked about middle-eastern food that I liked and Diab was touched since we like some of the same food--and since he was a chef, he especially liked food.  It turns out he knows how to make one of my favorite dishes: Melfuf. I don't know how to spell it but I grew up across the street from a palestinian family and used to eat all their food...but especially stuffed zuchhini or grape leaves with rise and lamb and lemon...yummmmmmmmm. We talked about food and our experiences living in Berlin until we arrived at the cafe.

Then Diab sat in the corner reading until we were ready to eat. He sat and listened as we continued to share with him that evening...some gave testimonies and there was some worship. I prayed for Diab later...but I haven't been to the cafe since.

I just found out last night that Diab has prayed to receive Jesus and worships regularly now at the Mittendrin Cafe. I was so amazed.

Interesting how a little invitation can make the world of difference in someone's life...! God knows what he is doing and when we take a little risk to be friendly and overcome our insecurities...he can change someone's life forever.
