Many different types of people read my articles. Some are believers in Jesus who are looking for encouragement and inspiration on their spiritual journey. But there are others reading this who want to know more about Jesus. Maybe you are curious about him, perhaps you wonder if he really is the hope for your life, or it may be that you wish you could believe but you just do not know how. You are not alone. In fact, there is a story in the Bible about a man like you.

He was a man who believed in God but did not understand about Jesus. He even traveled from his home in Africa all the way to Jerusalem to learn more. He read Scripture, but he did not really understand it. He needed help.

At the same time, there was a faithful follower of Jesus who was busy telling people the good news of salvation. When he told the story of Jesus, many believed him and became followers also. God had this man go to a desert road — a road the African was going to be traveling.

And they met on that road: the follower of Jesus and the man who wanted to know more.

So what does that have to do with you reading this article? I believe God still works to connect believers with those seeking answers. So if you are a believer reading this, God has placed you in a neighborhood for a reason. You may have friends that are looking for Jesus. Or there may be someone you work with who will be open to the story of Jesus. Just like the man from Africa was.

This is what you have been looking for.
You may be one of those who is looking. The one who is curious. One who does not understand the Jesus story but would like to. And now God has put us together. I can help you know the story. I can put you in personal contact with people that know the story. People who would love to share it with you. Write me at steve@hopeforlife.org. Or visit our website at www.hopeforlife.org.
