Alisha Wisby is who the woman the Dutch Bros employees prayed over that morning.
The photo eventually got around to Alisha, who says it made her cry all over again — but happy tears this time. Not only will it always remind her of the kindness she was shown, but it honors her beloved husband. “Something spiritual or something beautiful like that, you can’t always see it, at that moment,” Alisha said. “But I can now because I have [a] picture, and it’s another way I can remember him.”
In a day and age where prayer is shut out of schools and getting football coaches fired, it’s pretty amazing to see a group of young people go above and beyond their minimum wage duty by boldly praying for a stranger in need.
Both on our highest peaks and in our deepest valleys, prayer is the language of heaven that fuses us ever more deeply with God. Like these young men, let us remember that there truly is no greater gift we can offer our neighbors.
