Shepherding a Brother's Son

As the saints are praying for the full recovery of a brother's family into the church life, the Lord has answered those prayers by creating an opportunity for a brother's son to come into contact. At first, I was informed by a brother about the possibility of recommending this young brother to a brother we know who is in the construction field and an architect by profession. Initially, I was not clear if I should go ahead to introduce this young man to the architect. Last week, a brother called me and made the request more firm by also sending me the resume of his son. Besides, another brother also requested if I could do the introduction. However, I felt that I should meet the young brother first and have an informal orientation.

Therefore, last week we visited this brother's family and even had a one on one interaction with the young brother. Only then, I had the peace to go ahead. So, the following day, I called the architect brother and did the introduction. To my surprise, he was very willing to take this young intern and give him a first hand training from A to Z of turnkey project. I also called this young brother's father to confirm. Then, I called the young brother myself.

The next day, he first came to the meeting hall where I fellowshipped with him on four points on having a personal regular prayer life, Bible reading, fellowship with the church, and seeking the Lord’s will in every matter. I did so with a burden to shepherd him as I used to, to any young saints including my own chidren. Professional learning is just a channel for gaining the person for the Lord. I even encouraged him to learn whatever he could in his architectural field, and as the Lord lead so, he may one day design a meeting hall for the gathering of the saints. 

So, having prayed together, I drove him to the architect's office and introduced the two face to face. By the way, I alos got the opportunity to meet the architect brother after many years. Later, I was informed that the internship had a good start. I was even sent videos and a photo of the first project for this young brother to learn; the ground digging work for the foundation of the new building.

This is just a way the Lord opened the door for a young brother to be shepherded and perhaps, one day, be also gained for the church life fully.

Lord, gain this young brother who is a brother's son and also the architect brother for Your testimony in Gurugram.
