CHINA. As she pulled out her teaching aids and began to tell stories to the people of the village that she was visiting, she thought that one old villager looked vaguely familiar. It seemed as if she should know him from somewhere. But her thoughts were diverted as she began sharing one Bible story after another with the group. She ended with the story of the cross, after which the familiar-looking old man and one other person immediately professed faith in Christ.

As the older man prayed in his own dialect to receive Christ, the group rejoiced together over his decision. Then he went into his dwelling and brought out a framed picture of himself. Suddenly the Bible teacher realized why the man had seemed so familiar. A friend who had traveled to the village years earlier had given her a photo of the same man. His was the face that she had featured on her people group Web site! His was the face on her prayer calendar! She wanted to shout with joy that the God who had used this man's face to call others to prayer, had now worked in his heart to call him to relationship with Christ.
