After are amazing dinner we kept walking about 100 yards, down the road the man who had bought us dinner came on his scooter pointing across the street. A man walked over and said " Hi how can help you" So we look at each other "YES" this guy speaks english. we walk over across the street and begin talking to Paul (not real name, changed for safety) over tea. We find out very quickly that Paul as well as the whole street is occupied by muslims that have Immigrated from Saudi Arabia. After spending time speaking to Paul we meet his 9 year old nephew. Then we meet his brother in law the boys father. Well the Boys father was the richest man in the city. He likes us so much that he buys a second dinner. Here we go from being starving to being stuffed twice!!!
His brother in law then proceeds to take us to ice cream and then to an amazing historical site. He takes us to St. Paul's Home. Here we stand over a glass plate where illuminated underneath is the apostles home!!! For real then the local who let us in for free because who we where with, takes over to a well. where he proceeds to tell us that this is St. Paul's well. He takes a metal cover of the top and drops the bucket and draws water from the well. and he invites us to drink. We are over whelmed with Joy we begin laughing and crying. and then the most unbelievable thing happens the local guard comes and brings a twisted cracked metal cup.... He said "this was found in the excavation we believe this to be St. Paul's cup" so we are at St. Paul's drink from St. Paul's well out of St. Paul's cup !!!
Following this amazing evening we go back to paul's home are new friend. and share the gospel with him. We stay up with him for 4 ours till 3 in the morning. We present the word to him in his own language and he freaks out. He said I have been looking for this I have went to the local church and could not by it where did you get this. The following morning we spend another 4-5 hours with him explaining hebrews one and john 1 among others. We are still contact with paul and are pursuing a real relationship with him in expectation to see him and his whole family come to the saving knowledge of the Son!!!
