After Many Days — Part 1
“Seed to the sower, and bread to the eater”
(Isaiah 55:10).
The following account illustrates how God provides encouragement for those who desire to go out sowing the “Good Seed,” and spreading the “Bread of Life.”
On the 7th of January, 2015, Garvin Seymour, Howard House, and I, were giving out gospel tracts as we moved slowly along one of the busy downtown streets of Bridgetown, Barbados. People were hurrying thither and yon, but most people accepted a gospel paper and wallet calendar. Suddenly on a crowded corner Garvin stopped. In front of him was a lady standing and handing out gospel tracts as well. For a few moments they stared at one another, and then recognition flashed across both faces. As it turned out it was a former student of Garvin’s from Dickson Village, Saint Vincent. They embraced, they laughed, it brought tears to their eyes, and they embraced again. They had not seen each other for many years, and it was a joy to the student to see her former teacher, and a special joy to Garvin to meet his former student, who was now a bright and happy believer serving the Lord and spreading the good news.
