The Tire Pump Ministry

I found myself at an air pump of a local convenience store, and encountered some travelers looking for information. I was able to Google the question and provided it to them pertaining to an address. A month or so later, I came across a family trying to change a tire due to the valve stem bursting open when the man was pumping air. He was struggling to turn the lug nuts with the wrench, but couldn't budge them. I came along, and managed to loosen them by standing on the wrench arm, and continued to assist in the changing of the tire. I was happy that the family was not stranded and to be of help.

It was funny how I could help people at an air pump station, but everyone has a ministry. It may not be a cathedral with giant spires, television with millions of viewers, a fancy title, or recognition. There's another ministry out there in the shadows, in plain sight, with people in need. The area by the air pump has become a ministry of sort, and glad I was able to help. Remember to look out for people reaching out in the least likeliest places.
