Treasure 1
B and I went to the beach and found the breakwaters that look like what was drawn on the prophetic card. The verse on the card was
“I will even make a road in the wilderness, And rivers in the desert…” Isaiah 43:19.
After praying and discussing, we agreed on who the treasure was. Someone sitting near our treasure got up and walked away, confirming that she was the right person. We climbed up the breakwater and sat near her – a young lady sitting alone in the middle of it.
I approached her and asked if she could help us take a photo. Since she had a bag of inline skates beside her, I started a conversation about inline skating, as I’m also a skate enthusiast. We gave her the prophetic card and asked whether the words meant anything to her.
She shared that she was going through a season of dryness and self-doubt, and was trying to find meaning in a new job she had started a few months earlier. After understanding more about her work, we encouraged her with some words of hope. She said the card had made her day and shared that she was of another faith but had not attended church for some time.
I then shared my testimony. I told her that I was born Catholic and baptised as a baby. And how Jesus spoke to me through the Bible, leading me to invite Him back into my life and later to be baptised again. We invited her to visit Cornerstone Church at Odeon Katong. We also asked if we could pray for her and felt led to bless her with a benediction before we left.
Treasure 2
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
was the Bible verse on the second prophetic art card we had. The card had a yellow balloon with water underneath it. We felt that it was meant for a mother figure, so we continued walking along the beach and spotted an Indian lady sitting alone on a bench, wearing a yellow shirt. Her husband and daughter were playing in the sand nearby.
We didn’t feel it was the right time to approach her while her husband was still close by, so we stayed nearby and waited patiently. Later, her husband and daughter came back to the bench and put on their shoes. We thought the father was bringing their daughter to the washroom to wash their feet, but they ended up heading in the wrong direction to a washroom farther away instead.
We felt that this was God making a way for us to approach the mother. We shared the card with her and asked if she felt tired from work and caring for her family. She agreed and shared that they are not locals.
She thanked us for the card and mentioned that they are of a different religion, not Christian, and that they had once visited a Bethesda church for a Christmas event. Since it was Mother’s Day weekend, we wished her a happy Mother’s Day and invited her to visit Cornerstone Community Church.
