Convert

Jen is an acquaintance. I don’t recall how Jen first heard that I’m a Christian. It’s not on any billboards and I don’t have a bumpersticker, but Jen let me know that I better not try to convert her. What could I say but, “OK. I’ll try not to.” That was it, until Jen heard about my ministry at the men’s homeless shelter in Cleveland.* She asked me what I do there and I told her. And, I told her how much it means to me. Now Jen wants to volunteer there. Maybe I did convert Jen, just a little.
