If you seek him sincerely, you will find him.
He is waiting for you.
To the doubters listening, I understand doubt.
I lived in doubt for years.
But I am telling you with every fiber of my being, with all the authority of someone who has walked this path, Jesus is real.
He is not a myth, not a fairy tale, not a crutch for weak people.
He is God.
He is real.
And he will prove himself to you if you give him a chance.
To the persecutors, if any are listening, I forgive you.
All of you.
The ones who arrested me, the ones who beat me, the ones who sentenced me to death.
The ones who tried to kill me, I forgive you because Jesus forgave me because he commands me to forgive because forgiveness is the only path to freedom.
And more than that, I pray for you.
I pray that you will encounter Jesus like I did, like Rasheed did, that your eyes will be opened, that you will see the truth, that you will turn from darkness to light because God loves you, too.
Jesus died for you, too.
There is forgiveness available for you, too.
No matter what you have done.
Finally, to Jesus, thank you.
Thank you for finding me.
Thank you for saving me.
Thank you for never leaving me.
Thank you for the darkness because it led me to your light.
Thank you for the persecution because it made me know you deeper.
Thank you for the deliverance because it gave me this story to tell.
Thank you for your faithfulness.
Thank you for your love.
Thank you for your grace.
I am yours completely yours forever yours.
Use my life for your glory.
Use my story for your purposes.
Do with me whatever brings you the most glory.
I am willing.
I am ready.
I am yours.
To everyone listening, I leave you with the same words I heard in my darkest hour.
The words that carried me through the valley of the shadow of death.
The words that are still carrying me today.
Do not be afraid.
I am with you.
I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Jesus spoke those words to me in that cell.
And he speaks them to you today.
Right now, wherever you are, whatever you are facing.
Do not be afraid.
He is with you and he will never leave you.
This is my testimony.
This is his faithfulness.
This is the gospel truth.
Jesus Christ is Lord and he is worthy of everything.
May you come to know him.
May you follow him.
May you experience his love like I have experienced it.
May your life be transformed like mine has been transformed.
From darkness to light, from death to life, from fear to freedom, from despair to hope.
This is what Jesus does.
This is who he is.
This is why he is worth everything.
Thank you.
God bless you.
And may the true light of the world shine on you today and always.
Amen.

I prayed, “Jesus, if you are real, if you hear me, please protect us. Please hide us. Please do not let them come here. ” We sat like that for what felt like hours, but was probably 10 minutes. The noise next door continued, shouting, breaking glass, a woman weeping, but no one came to […]

I said it firmly. I would never put those girls in danger. They knew nothing. The judge did not care. He conferred with the two men beside him. They spoke in low voices, but I knew what they were deciding. There was only one sentence for open apostasy. After a few minutes, the center judge […]

September 1st, 1943. Rabol airfield, New Britain.

The Americans have produced a new fighter, heavy as a bomber, wide […]

This is What ISIS Did to American Soldiers! – Part 2
They were opposite of everything I saw around me. The Taliban taught hatred of enemies. They taught violence and revenge. They taught domination. But Jesus taught something completely different. Then I heard these words, “You have heard that it was said, you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, […]
This is What ISIS Did to American Soldiers! – Part 3
I was praying again on my knees, head bowed, hands raised, whispering worship to Jesus. But this time, Rasheed saw something he could not explain. Light, soft, golden light surrounding me. Not from any source he could identify, not from the small window. It was the middle of the night, not from outside the cell. […]
