This young man has been trying to figure out how to be forgiven!

Today, Augustus "happened" to be wandering

around the mall with no place to go.

Then he ran into me and I asked him,

"Do you have any thoughts about God and spiritual things?"

"For sure...I've got plenty to say!"

Instantly he wanted to talk about God.

So we put him on The Way of the Master Radio

and afterward he was very moved by the law.

He got off the program and his eyes filled with tears as he explained,

"I was asking God for a sign--last night...you know...

I needed to hear from God...and then he brought you."

He lifted his cap from his head and continued,

"I heard what they were saying on the radio--

and I have done so many horrible things."

We listened as he poured out his heart like water.

It was so refreshing to hear the words of this honest young man.

It was visibly evident that he was broken over his sin.

With tears filling his eyes again he continued,

"I have done so many horrible things."

With great joy my mother and father-in-law joined

to help me explain the good news and how he could be forgiven.

"What you must do is repent of your sins (turn from your sinfullness)

and trust in Jesus Christ...you can be forgiven through the

death and resurrection of Jesus Christ...there's forgiveness for you...

and there's nothing you have done that you can't be forgiven for--it's really good news!"

We encouraged him to get right with God immediately!

Then gave him all our contact information and invited him to our church

And almost an hour after he was on the program,

we were still at the mall and "happened" to run into him again!

We talked for almost an hour. Praise be to God.

Please pray for this sweet young man Augustus.
