God’s Pursuing Love

A conversation with a pharmaceutical representative I’ll call Pam unexpectedly turned to spiritual things one day when she asked, “What are you doing this weekend?’

“Preaching!” I responded. I had been meeting with Pam every few weeks for six months or so. Her question took me by surprise.

“Oh,” she replied. “What church?”

“I’m a Seventh-day Adventist.”

“That’s interesting,” she continued. “I’ve heard Doug Batchelor speak before on television.”

As our conversation continued, I shared a link to some of my sermons on Audioverse. When she came back to my office to see me again, she said had listened to them as well. She noted that what I said was in agreement with Pastor Batchelor’s messages.

“What did you think about what you heard?” I asked.

“I was very convicted on the Sabbath, but I’m a Baptist and it’s very hard to change from that right now,” she explained.

As the weeks passed we had opportunity for more conversations. Pam became very convicted about the Sabbath and other Bible truths. When my book on Daniel came out, I signed it and shared it with her.

A few months passed and I had opportunity to speak in California. Doug and Karen Batchelor were there and I told them about Pam. Doug also signed one of his books to give to Pam as a gift.

Not long after that Pam changed jobs and I haven’t seen her regularly since then. She is convinced of many of the biblical truths. It’s not hard to see that the world is falling apart. But the big stumbling block for her was her husband, who has no interest in Bible truth.

It was a disappointment that she resigned, but I am thankful for the opportunity I had to plant some seeds of Bible truth in her heart.

I believe God was working in Pam’s life to draw her attention to Bible truth long before I met her, as evidenced by her interest in Doug Batchelor’s messages.

We spend a lot of time thinking of ways to reach our patients, but there are others we work with like Pam who are well-educated, smart, and may have have an interest in spiritual things.

It’s our privilege as medical missionaries to sow beside all waters. We don’t know which seeds will prosper, but we can trust that the Lord will draw all who are willing to Himself.
