The team bought four flowers and the store owner gave them a fifth flower for free. As a gift, the team gave a New Testament and a tract to the shop owner.
The team proceeded down the street to give away the flowers in the community. One young woman, in astonishment, said no one had ever done that for her before. “Why are you doing this?”
The team explained about Jesus’ love that brought them to Israel, to this town, and to give this flower to her.
Other conversations were of varying lengths, but each of the five flowers found a grateful hand, produced a large grin and resulted in an opportunity to share about Jesus. Each person gladly received a tract or New Testament as well.
The flowers served as effective icebreakers to open conversations.
OM Israel: "We pray these flower recipients receive the Rose of Sharon, Jesus, as their Lord and Saviour."
