Good Friends Are A Gift From God

OM International

In 1975 Randy & Margie Lawler the present leader of OM Turning Point joined OM in Belgium. Mickey Walker, presently ministering as open air evangelist in Ireland, was our first team leader. The friendship has also gone across our families for over 30 years. For the second time, this summer Mickey married another of our daughters in France.

Our children also minister together in OM. Our daughter Phoenicia and son-in-law Ger working with OM in France also help Mickey's son Josh and Deb at Teen Street each year.

Mickey is still invited several times a year to come down to London to help in the evangelism training at short term Global Challenge outreaches. When we minister on the streets of London we reach people from many countries.

Mickey was in London again this summer doing sketch board training and this is his story. "I was preaching an open air in London a few weeks back and was approached by Amanda, a young mother with her two daughters. She listened and then approached me asking if I had preached at the same location 3 years ago? She said she recognized me and that she had listened to me, received a NT from a team member, went home and accepted the LORD into her life. She went on to say that He so changed her life and helped her through an absolutely disastrous situation she was going through at the time. She immediately joined a local Baptist church and has been going and growing ever since! God is so good to show me encouraging things like this."

Good friends are a gift from God.
