Sometimes Gospel Outreach is found in the strangest places. This was clear when a sports coat my husband purchased in Florida had a surprising item in the inside pocket. When we returned home he reached into the inside pocket and there he found a Mustard Seed packet from the 2015 LWML National Convention.

We don’t know who placed it there, but it seems that someone had purposely left it to share the Good News of Jesus with others.

We are called to engage, encourage, and equip others to share their faith in Jesus Christ, their loving Savior, with people of their communities and the world. It doesn't have to be "extraordinary" — it can be as "simple" as calling a neighbor to say hello, sharing a meal, or visiting someone in a nursing home. In this instance, it was as easy as leaving the seed packet in the pocket of a sports coat. In Matthew 19: 26 we read, “with God all things are possible.”
