There has be a certain young man who I’ve seen the lord tug on day by day in my time here in Albania will call him Xavier. There have been two occurrences in which I’ve seen the Lord move in his life.

The first was when he knocked on our door at night with a group of his friends thinking there was a party going on in our flat (we were playing traditional Albanian music at what we believed to be a normal and acceptable volume level. Turns out we were very wrong haha Americans are super loud). Our ministry host was having dinner with us that night. When they young men had knocked on our door he went out there and started to share his testimony with them and Xavier was so touched he began to cry.

The second time my ministry host and i decided to go exercise at the park after dinner there were two sets of pull up bars and a set of parallel bars. Within of couple of minutes Xavier and his group walked up and started talking to us. My ministry host began to talk to one of his friends about the gospel. That friend was pretty rooted in the Quran and Islam because of that they debated for a while. I don’t speak much Albanian so I just pray and intercede. The Lord gave me the ok to go back to exercising so I did. As i continued Xavier and the others who weren’t apart of the debate came up to me and gestured for me to break dance so they could get it on camera. About two days before a video of me breakdancing at tge park went viral and a lot of people knew who i was haha. I told Xavier and his friends I’ll dance but if I do you have to learn one of the moves . The agreed so after they got they’re video i began to teach Xavier how to do it. After about five minutes he communicated to me through Google translate his wrist hurts to much to continue. So I told him the God i serve heals people would you like to be healed. He said yes so I prayed for his wrist. Afterwards he said it felt better but there was still some pain so we did it again. After the second time he said there was a tiny bit of pain so we did it a third time, after that he said he was good.

As that encounter ended i was talking to my ministry host about what just happened and he told me the night he told his testimony to the young men he was the one who began to cry. I amazed and began to celebrate. In my mind i could just see the lord setting up these dominoes each dominoe is an experience with Xavier seeing a little bit more of the Lord. So far I’ve only seen two dominoes but I know I’ll see more in my time here. I can’t wait to here or see when those dominoes fall and reveal the masterpiece the Lord has created in Xavier’s life.
