A Boy Dies but His Family Is Saved!

We never know what God wants to do when we arrive in new areas with the Jesus Film. Recently, as we were preparing our equipment, we noticed that no one was watching us or was in the area where we were setting up. This is rare because normally when we are getting ready, there are many children nearby or at least a few adults asking us questions.

Later we learned that a teenager had died and a wake was being held in a house not far away. Thus, we decided to start the film much later than normal. When we finished the film around 11 p.m. the family of the boy who had died was watching the film. They were so broken-hearted that all of them accepted Jesus as their Savior. Now we have a new group meeting in this place and they are praising the Lord. He is the One who comforts us in our moments of pain.
