New Believer #4

New Believer #4

As it turned out, this was the most interesting interview yet. This man has been shot, stabbed, hit by cars, and in a terrible accident. He knew after still living through it all that God has a purpose for him. While in jail, he knew there had to be more for him. He was interested in finding out. He went to Freedom House and when asked what the best part of coming to Christ, his reply was freedom of what he's going to do tomorrow. He doesn't have to worry anymore. There is a peace for him. His hardest challenge is listening to someone who is younger than him. In the House, he has to follow a 21 year old and he doesn't always agree with him. The guys in the House and Freedom Valley has helped him. When he saw that he wasn't being judged for the things he had done and people actually went out of their way to build a relationship with him, he was touched. He noticed that people led by example here and didn't just give orders. This spoke volumes to him. He has never seen this shown before. He is a nice guy and I have watched him take action and fight for his freedom. One thing I wish I saw more from him is a smile. He has so much for him and I wish he could see it.
