We spontaneously decided to go to the lighting store. We weren’t planning to switch out the lighting in the new place, but we decided to after all, and the day we decided was the day we “happened” (God’s doing!) to be near the best lighting store in the area. We had already been there for quite a while when a couple walked in that Don noticed in particular. The husband was wearing a “Waymaker” t-shirt, so Don took that as a sign that he should try to chat with him. The three of them stood in the middle of the store, talking for over half an hour. What Don shared really touched their hearts, and at one point the wife started to cry. By the end of the conversation, together with Don showing them the new “Winging It!” video we recently posted, they were ready to pray.

The wife was already born again (of water and of the Holy Spirit), but she only spoke in tongues during some church meetings. The husband had been water baptized but was not yet filled with the Holy Spirit, and he understood exactly what Don had been preaching from the Word in terms of the necessity to still receive the Holy Spirit anointing. So, three of us went to pray in the car with the couple, and the husband received mightily. At first, he was gently praying, praising God and seeking for the Holy Spirit, but nothing much was happening. We prayed over him some more, speaking powerful words from the Kingdom of God in both English and in the Holy Spirit, and suddenly he started to break down and burst forth in tongues himself, together with tears of joy. His wife was also praying in tongues and crying in the back seat, beautifully touched by the whole experience. I asked if that was the most powerful she’d prayed in tongues in a long while and she replied “Yes!"

What was particularly amazing was that the couple was only in town for the weekend. They had driven all the way down from North Carolina and they were only here for two days, for their son’s wedding rehearsal. They had a little bit of spare time before the rehearsal was due to start, so they randomly — not so random! ;) — decided to pop into the lighting store as they drove by. We took a selfie with them and exchanged details, and then they had to rush off to their appointment. Later, the wife texted back saying, “…This day will forever be in our hearts…” Wow, what a joy - for them and for us!
