Bob Evans

It is part of my strategy in building and developing leaders to meet with people on a regular basis. We usually meet for breakfast or lunch. This allows me to maximize my time. I am going to eat, so I choose not to eat alone.

I try to set up appointments with people who I can pour my life into. One of the places that I often go to meet with people is Bob Evans. I have developed a good relationship with a number of the waitresses. They know that I am a pastor. I joke with them and they joke with me.

Because I believe that God is always opening doors for his love to be shared, I have personally prayed for them when I hear about a specific need in their life, I encourage them, and occasionally invite them to NewPointe.

Last week – I asked one of the waitresses for advice on a dish for lunch. It was the chicken stir fry. She did not recommend it but I went with it any way. She asked me how it was, so I played it up.

Later that week, I stopped in for breakfast and told her that I wanted to order the Chicken stir fry because it was so good. So she came back with this for me.

I believe that one day, God is going to move in their lives, in an incredible way.
