(James Rafferty) So glad you've
joined us for this program.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
It's gone so quickly. I
just want to ask what about
00:00:02.73\00:00:05.10
personal stories that
you guys have experienced?
00:00:05.13\00:00:08.80
(David Pano) You know I...when
I went to school I didn't want
00:00:08.84\00:00:10.94
to be in full-time ministry.
I wanted to be a good lay
00:00:10.97\00:00:13.98
member. I still have my dreams
and career and everything. And
00:00:14.01\00:00:18.28
it was through canvassing when I
experienced...I went to knock at
00:00:18.31\00:00:22.82
a door and this gentleman opened
up and...It's a long story,
00:00:22.85\00:00:27.22
trying to make it short I
just give him Bible you know our
00:00:27.26\00:00:31.36
books and this man, the owner
of the house was looking at the
00:00:31.39\00:00:34.50
books. This other man come in
the back and he grabs the books
00:00:34.53\00:00:37.20
and he says is this from the
Bible? You know of course. Like
00:00:37.23\00:00:40.80
how are you? You know he was a
big guy and we talked to us and
00:00:40.84\00:00:43.64
everything. And I was like yes
He's like well is, is...can you
00:00:43.67\00:00:48.14
tell me more about it. He
started sharing. He said, you
00:00:48.18\00:00:51.31
know I just got out of jail.
I gave me life to God in jail.
00:00:51.35\00:00:55.92
(Really) but I'm still
in bondage on gambling and
00:00:55.95\00:01:00.46
alcohol. And I usually have my
Bible. Just grab it, open it and
00:01:00.49\00:01:05.59
share simple Bible verses that
explains righteousness by faith
00:01:05.63\00:01:08.83
and victory. And this man just
started crying. After that I
00:01:08.86\00:01:13.37
just saw the Holy Spirit
touching him. He just hugged me
00:01:13.40\00:01:16.77
Walking out I just realized,
I want to do this for life.
00:01:16.81\00:01:24.01
And that's when I decided
to change my career to theology
00:01:24.05\00:01:28.88
and it's something that you
will never, never, never forget.
00:01:28.92\00:01:33.96
I love that.
Praise God, praise God.
00:01:33.99\00:01:36.59
(Bill Krick) You know what,
just briefly, James, I remember
00:01:36.62\00:01:39.03
knocking at a door, having
a Bible study with someone and
00:01:39.06\00:01:43.10
then the coworker came and
eventually the coworker and her
00:01:43.13\00:01:46.07
husband were baptized. And as
a young person finding out that
00:01:46.10\00:01:48.77
my contact had been baptized was
so enjoyable for me. That's what
00:01:48.80\00:01:53.11
I remember.
00:01:53.14\00:01:54.48
You know it's been such a
blessing to hear these stories
00:01:54.51\00:01:56.41
not just about the other young
people but about yourselves and
00:01:56.44\00:01:59.41
your personal experiences and
how God has led you into this
00:01:59.45\00:02:02.92
ministry. And I'm just so
thankful that you've been here
00:02:02.95\00:02:05.05
and I want to encourage
you to come back more often.
00:02:05.09\00:02:06.89
God bless you until next time.
