Charles Colson, the founder of Prison Fellowship, describes one of his experiences in life in this manner:

After an overnight flight to Jakarta, Colson had to wait in a long queue at the airport. It made him very tired; and though it was a hot day, Colson, being a believer in God, stayed calm. 

However, there was someone in that airport who was observing Mr Colson. He was a senior partner in a Singapore based law firm. Having a Chinese background and rooted in the tradition of Confucianism, this man had no knowledge of Christianity. But his children used to attend Sunday school at a church. He recognised that one of the books his children brought back home from their Sunday school, had a picture of the man standing calmly in the queue. He decided to go home and read the book, though he did not try to get to know or talk to Colson.

Two years later, Charles received a letter which read like this: ‘I read the book titled ‘Born Again’, written by the man who stood calm in a long and tedious queue, and I gave my life to Jesus Christ. Many thanks!’

Let us spread the aroma of Christ everywhere in these unfortunate times!

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place. For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 2 Corinthians 2:14-15
