How God Uses Search Engines

the fol­low­ing is a rough para­phrase of a very cool encounter that occured just hours ago

The scene: I’m sit­ting at my desk, think­ing about what to put on our web site when I receive a phone call:

“Hi–my name is Aileen, I’m a stu­dent at Stan­ford and I live in Oak Creek. I saw your web­site and had some ques­tions about Chi Alpha. It looks like you believe in being filled with the Holy Spir­it. Do you?”

Me: “Wow. [long con­ver­sa­tion, skip a lot of stuff] How did you come across our web­site?”

Aileen: “I did a search for Oak Creek Apart­ments and your web­site came up.”

The bot­tom line: we wound up invit­ing Aileen (a Sin­ga­pore­an Ph. D. stu­dent study­ing the biol­o­gy of can­cer) over for sup­per. We had a great time!

God is con­tin­u­ing to arrange divine appoint­ments for us to facil­i­tate min­istry among the stu­dents at Stan­ford!
