Today a 53 year old man just wandered into our church building. I talked with him about Jesus for about an hour. I took him through John 1 to try to get him started reading the bible. After this I prayed for him. Kinda a normal “Crazy” witnessing time. He told me he needed to get to Marion (Probably why he stopped) so I gave him a ride over. On the drive the gentleman asked me my last name. I told him. He asked me if I was related to Sam Sparks. I was kinda shocked but I told him “Yup, that’s my pop”. He proceed to freak out. He told me “God used your dad to save my life”. This life worn man then told me about the day almost 20 years ago when he was going to take his own life. Moments before he would try to commit suicide he got a call from my father. My dad said theses words that this man will never forget “Rufus don’t do it. Don’t kill yourself.” I was shocked and awed! He told me to tell my father thank you. To be honest I am still trying to process how awesome this is. I told my dad and then worshiped! Wow!!!!!!
