The Importance of Witnessing Forwarded to us by Missionary T. Hastings (Author Unknown - Received by Email) Whether this story is literally true or not, it is certainly a "true to life" story and should inspire us to take every opportunity to witness to others of the saving grace of God! |
An evangelist who was a guest speaker at a Church on Sunday, Sept. 9, returned to his home in Denver on Monday, Sept 10. On his "American Airlines" flight he saw a stewardess breaking up ice with a wine bottle. He got up from his seat and asked her if there wasn't another way she could more safely do it. He said he was afraid she would hurt herself. She was moved that he would be so concerned. He then gave her a gospel tract to read when she had a spare moment. A short time later she found "Bill" and told him that this was the sixth gospel tract she had received from someone.
"What does God want from me?" she asked.
"Bill" responded, "Your life."
A few minutes later he was praying with her, and she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior.
After Tuesday's terrible attack on America, Bill looked up the names of those on American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane that crashed into the World Trade Center. The stewardess' name was listed. On Tuesday, 9/11, she entered into the eternal presence of her Lord and Savior!
