She asked to read my Bible on a plane...

Last week, on my flight home from a conference, I sat next to Navya*, a 48-year-old lawyer from Toronto.

Within moments, she mentioned her father’s recent passing, and soon we were deep in conversation as she described her experience of divorce, parenting, and spirituality.

When I mentioned the Book of Genesis and took out my Bible, she was intrigued and asked if she could read it.

Together we walked through Genesis 1-5, discussing how the biblical story makes sense of our lives and offers an identity, purpose, and security beyond our circumstances.

It was such an honour to listen to Navya's story and to point her to Jesus as the source of the peace she is looking for.

Would you join me in praying that God continues to draw Navya to himself?
