During an early morning taxi ride, Amy struck up a conversation with the driver. It was obvious that Mr. Wu was a Christian from the music playing and the stickers in his cab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere do you worship?\u201d Amy asked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell,\u201d he answered sheepishly, \u201cnot everyone understands, but we have people come into our home. The taxi drivers that I meet would probably never be willing to go into a church, but they like coming to my house and hearing stories about God. My children, too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s wonderful!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Wu was surprised by Amy\u2019s affirmation of his \u201csimplified church.\u201d After he described a typical meeting, Amy noted its similarity to a discovery Bible study. She offered two simple suggestions: a question to help the group know God better and a reproducing step where everyone shares what they learn with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, that\u2019s great! I\u2019m going to try those this week!\u201d Mr. Wu declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Wu shared that he had seen Amy before and wanted to meet her. Amy knew the Holy Spirit had orchestrated their meeting. She, too, was greatly encouraged by meeting a local believer willing to take a non-traditional approach to see more people become followers of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
