So this is Sam.  I met Sam this past summer and we had a very interesting conversation.  It was during the end of July when we had the MB Mission short term mission SOAR team with us in Vancouver.  So the day before we were at a water park on Granville Island.  We passed out a ton of balloons, juice and had a huge game of soccer.  Then this day we went to one of the neighbourhood parks, and lo and behold the park was virtually empty!  We showed up with around 75 balloons and a ton of juice boxes, water bottles and face paint.  Then, here comes along Sam.  I began having a discussion with him and he wanted to know what we were doing and why were were doing it.  He ended up telling us he is a Hindu Priest, and then he started bashing Christianity...such a wonderful way to start a relationship ;-)  
In all honesty it was great to have our friends with us from our home church in Bakersfield to be part of this discussion.  After a vibrant discussion Sarah, who was one of the leaders, looked at Sam and say before you leave I would like to pray for you right now.  After she prayed Sam looked at us and said..."did you feel that, I felt something."  Such a great time to be there at that park even though only a small number of people were there I felt so honored to meet Sam. He told us exactly where he lived and a few days later I went with Zach and Dylan and we dropped off a Bible at his front door because no one was home.
