Pastor Stewart was a man devoted to peace. He never argued, never fought, and never raised his voice in anger. His life was simple: serve the church and spread the Word of God. Wherever he went, people recognised him by his calm smile and his pink church robe, a colour that reminded many of love, compassion, and grace.
One Sunday, Pastor Stewart chose to hold the church service outdoors. The sky was clear, the wind gentle, and the congregation gathered beneath the open heavens. As he preached, his words flowed softly, carried by the breeze.
Suddenly, a bird flew across the gathering. It circled once, then dropped something at Pastor Stewart’s feet. Curious and calm, he picked it up. It was a letter.
He opened it slowly and read aloud to the congregants. The letter was from a man who had heard of the church from far away. He wrote that his heart had changed and that he wished to be baptised, not through force or fear, but through faith.
The congregation fell silent. Pastor Stewart smiled, looking up toward the sky. He reminded the people that God’s messages do not always arrive in expected ways. Sometimes, they come on wings.
That day, the church understood that peace invites faith, and faith always finds a way.
