26 For [r]consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to [s]the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27 but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, 28 and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may...
nullify the things that are, 29 so that no [t]man may boast before God. 30 But [u]by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, [v]and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, 31 so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
1 Cor. 1 (BIBLE)
Many people come to our mid-week Bible teaching on Wednesday evenings . Illiterate , semi-literate, college graduates and university professors come together. Yesterday, a cobbler from the side walk came. He has put his trust in Christ. and wants to know him more closely. He sat shyly at the back. Pastor, Dr Herbert made him sit in front and told him about William Carey a cobbler from Nottinghamshire, who transformed India. Dr Herbert christened this man, William Carey

The humble man sat up straighter after that and had a twinkle in his eye as he greeted everyone with a Jai Yeshu (Praise Jesus) after the meeting.
This is experiencing God as Christ made Him known , among the poor, down trodden and also the privileged.People from all levels of society were drawn to him.
God sometimes uses the weakest forms of life to display His strength , power and wisdom.
5 Fertilize my soul:
Seems like God Always uses the foolish things to show forth His wisdom and to confound the wise.
"Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him?", James 2: 5.
The Lord bless him!
Lovely story! lovely story!
Dear friends, thank you for all your comments and visit. I am so sorry I have not been able to visit back an d comment on you r recent posts, but soon I will catch up
Praise God for what God has done to this cobbler. I remember to have friendship with one of the cobblers in Chandigarh who is lame. He is introduced to me by our trainer Jose thomas. Always on our way we used to exchange smiles and have a small chat of hi, bye. It seems he listens about Christ through radio programmes.
