Treasure Hunt via Cell Phone

Jan 30, 2011

It’s cold out, about 40 deg, so I figure there is not a chance anyone in their right mind is going to be hanging out in a park. For two our team of four, this was their first time treasure hunting. One of them had clues of big trees and slide so even though there would be no one outside, we would check out a couple parks before heading to our other clue of Walmart. The first park was empty so we headed to Keewaydin Park, across from Kennewick High School, as it has big trees and slides. We also had a clue of a circle. The street in the park ends with a large cul-de-sac. It was there that we found a man pushing a couple of young boys on the swings. From a distance we could see no other clues but as walked closer, one of the young boys had spiky hair which matched one of our clues.

I was trying to explain to the man that they were on our treasure map when I realized he could only speak Spanish. He got on his cell phone and in a short time I was talking to the mother of the boy with the spiked hair, trying to explain to her that the Lord had led us to her son by the clues on our treasure map. The tone in her voice did not sound happy as she told me that she would be there in five minutes. We went back to the car to warm up until she got to the park. I wondered if maybe she would bring the cops with her as it could appear that we were stalking her young son.

In about five minutes a car with about five people showed up. The mother of the young boy was very skeptical until she saw our other clues: We had clues for four of the five people in the car including her. We had names, the color of their clothing, discouraged about $$$, and pelvic pain. Our two new treasure hunters laid hands on the girl with the white top, prayed in the name of Jesus, and the pelvic pain left. We got to share the goodness of God with them, pray for every need, and released the kingdom into their lives. The Kingdom of God had invaded Keewaydin Park!!!

The young ladies on our team had received their first words of knowledge, got to lay hand of the sick, and see their first healing miracle. It was also my first Treasure Hunt via cell phone.

P.S. Walmart was awesome as well!
