1
00:56:21,646 --> 00:56:25,450
- One night we heard a man
talk about a minister that
2
00:56:25,516 --> 00:56:28,185
smuggled bibles into
Bulgaria and Romania,
3
00:56:28,252 --> 00:56:31,922
so I went to a seminar in
California and signed up
4
00:56:31,989 --> 00:56:34,191
to smuggle bibles in,
and my wife didn't know
5
00:56:34,258 --> 00:56:36,193
anything about this until
I came home and told her.
6
00:56:36,260 --> 00:56:39,930
God just opened many doors
and many miracles for my
7
00:56:39,997 --> 00:56:43,133
wife and I saw, and god
was always there and got
8
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:47,171
us through unbelievable
border crossings.
9
00:56:47,237 --> 00:56:49,139
He allowed us to go to
all these countries,
10
00:56:49,206 --> 00:56:52,443
and one of the most
miraculous things was we
11
00:56:52,510 --> 00:56:55,780
went to Macedonia, a
section of Bulgaria.
12
00:56:55,846 --> 00:56:58,683
At the end of the service,
this Bulgarian woman at
13
00:56:58,749 --> 00:57:00,685
the back of the church
began to scream.
14
00:57:00,751 --> 00:57:02,219
I didn't know what
was happening.
15
00:57:02,286 --> 00:57:05,122
And the pastor announced
she got saved reading the
16
00:57:05,189 --> 00:57:07,558
Bible that a Bible
smuggler brought in,
17
00:57:07,625 --> 00:57:12,763
and she prayed for Bible
smugglers all those years,
18
00:57:12,830 --> 00:57:15,165
and it was just, I went
back and talked to this
19
00:57:15,232 --> 00:57:19,436
lady and god allowed us to
see things like that to
20
00:57:19,504 --> 00:57:24,074
let us know what we
were doing was him.
21
00:57:24,141 --> 00:57:26,343
And we saw many miracles.
22
00:57:26,410 --> 00:57:28,713
God is god, and he
can do anything,
23
00:57:28,779 --> 00:57:33,217
and he will do it when
you're in his will.
24
00:57:33,283 --> 00:57:35,653
- My parents were both
from Paris, France.
25
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,855
They met at a guitar class
where my dad was the
26
00:57:37,922 --> 00:57:39,657
classical guitar teacher.
27
00:57:39,724 --> 00:57:42,026
They figured there had to
be something else to life
28
00:57:42,092 --> 00:57:44,562
besides just getting
up, and going to work,
29
00:57:44,629 --> 00:57:46,196
and going to bed, and
doing it over and over
30
00:57:46,263 --> 00:57:48,065
again, and thought there's
got to be something that
31
00:57:48,132 --> 00:57:50,768
can fill our hearts with
joy and with peace.
32
00:57:50,835 --> 00:57:52,803
They went to India a
couple of times thinking
33
00:57:52,870 --> 00:57:54,371
maybe they would
find wisdom there.
34
00:57:54,438 --> 00:57:56,507
One of the things that
they did was also to begin
35
00:57:56,574 --> 00:57:58,275
the process of reading
anything that they could
36
00:57:58,342 --> 00:58:02,079
find related to religion,
or related to god, or
37
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,014
related to things that
might fulfill their lives,
38
00:58:04,081 --> 00:58:06,984
so they read, and they
read and many, many books.
39
00:58:07,051 --> 00:58:09,754
And one of those
books was the Bible.
40
00:58:09,820 --> 00:58:11,622
They really didn't
understand a whole lot of
41
00:58:11,689 --> 00:58:13,891
it, but it intrigued them,
so they thought we're
42
00:58:13,958 --> 00:58:17,061
gonna read it again slower
and more carefully.
43
00:58:17,127 --> 00:58:19,196
And it was during that
second reading that god
44
00:58:19,263 --> 00:58:21,799
really began to speak to
them very specifically with
45
00:58:21,866 --> 00:58:23,333
passages of the Bible.
46
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,970
And they began a sort of
dialogue between them and
47
00:58:26,036 --> 00:58:27,437
god where they
would ask questions,
48
00:58:27,504 --> 00:58:29,640
very honest questions,
and as a result,
49
00:58:29,707 --> 00:58:33,010
they realized that
they needed god.
50
00:58:33,077 --> 00:58:36,280
They accepted that god was
the god of the universe,
51
00:58:36,346 --> 00:58:39,249
Christ had been sent by
god to forgive our sins,
52
00:58:39,316 --> 00:58:42,587
and god dramatically
changed their lives.
53
00:58:42,653 --> 00:58:46,123
They immediately felt
the peace that they
54
00:58:46,190 --> 00:58:47,157
had been looking for.
55
00:58:47,224 --> 00:58:49,126
They knew that
through the Bible,
56
00:58:49,193 --> 00:58:50,561
god had changed them.
57
00:58:50,628 --> 00:58:52,496
At that moment, they
realized in their heart
58
00:58:52,563 --> 00:58:55,633
that the reason the wise-
men were led to Jerusalem
59
00:58:55,700 --> 00:58:59,069
was because god wanted
to reveal his son
60
00:58:59,136 --> 00:59:00,537
through his scriptures.
61
00:59:00,605 --> 00:59:02,607
They realized the
Bible is the truth.
62
00:59:02,673 --> 00:59:04,141
It has to be the truth.
63
00:59:04,208 --> 00:59:06,911
They simply knew
that god was god,
64
00:59:06,977 --> 00:59:09,079
that his son had come
to die on the cross
65
00:59:09,146 --> 00:59:11,148
for their sins, and that
the Bible was the
66
00:59:11,215 --> 00:59:13,684
inspired word of god.
67
00:59:13,751 --> 00:59:15,753
- Me and my
brother and my sister,
68
00:59:15,820 --> 00:59:17,521
mother had taken
us to church.
69
00:59:17,588 --> 00:59:19,323
Time went on in our lives.
70
00:59:19,389 --> 00:59:21,626
My mother and father
had a lot of problems,
71
00:59:21,692 --> 00:59:25,562
and at age 16
my mother died.
72
00:59:25,630 --> 00:59:27,364
Father drank a lot.
He was an alcoholic.
73
00:59:27,431 --> 00:59:29,166
I began drinking.
74
00:59:29,233 --> 00:59:31,936
As I got into my early
teenage years, drugs,
75
00:59:32,002 --> 00:59:34,672
in jail, out of jail, do
all right for a while,
76
00:59:34,739 --> 00:59:37,875
and I continued in this
cycle that I had been
77
00:59:37,942 --> 00:59:39,677
in most of my life.
78
00:59:39,744 --> 00:59:41,211
There were some good
times that happened.
79
00:59:41,278 --> 00:59:45,650
I met my wife now, and
we had two daughters.
80
00:59:45,716 --> 00:59:47,251
A couple years later,
81
00:59:47,317 --> 00:59:51,221
I get arrested and
get a drug charge.
82
00:59:51,288 --> 00:59:53,924
You would think that would
be enough for someone
83
00:59:53,991 --> 00:59:55,660
to straighten up,
but it wasn't.
84
00:59:55,726 --> 00:59:58,629
I continued in this cycle
that I had been in
85
00:59:58,696 --> 01:00:00,264
most of my life.
86
01:00:00,330 --> 01:00:04,301
I'm out on Friday night,
and I went into a bar
87
01:00:04,368 --> 01:00:09,073
early in the morning,
altercation, I got robbed,
88
01:00:09,139 --> 01:00:12,076
and I shot a man
and killed him.
89
01:00:12,142 --> 01:00:15,813
I'm charged with
murder, and I'm guilty.
90
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,248
And it starts dawning on
me that I have finally
91
01:00:18,315 --> 01:00:20,450
just went too far.
92
01:00:20,517 --> 01:00:23,788
I've done things that
cannot be answered to any
93
01:00:23,854 --> 01:00:26,523
longer. I'm going to
jail for a long time.
94
01:00:26,590 --> 01:00:29,226
And I'm immediately locked
up and start serving a
95
01:00:29,293 --> 01:00:30,728
two year sentence there.
96
01:00:30,795 --> 01:00:32,963
I'm waiting on
the big charge,
97
01:00:33,030 --> 01:00:35,132
this murder charge,
in Nashville.
98
01:00:35,199 --> 01:00:37,668
Weeks turn into months,
and in that cell,
99
01:00:37,735 --> 01:00:41,071
it's dawning on me that
I'm probably never
100
01:00:41,138 --> 01:00:43,640
gonna get out. I've
got two small kids,
101
01:00:43,708 --> 01:00:45,910
and life is pretty
much done for me.
102
01:00:45,976 --> 01:00:48,979
I hear a sound come up the
steps and it's some men,
103
01:00:49,046 --> 01:00:51,248
and we're thinking we're
gonna be getting lawyers.
104
01:00:51,315 --> 01:00:53,417
We're in jail, we need
lawyers, but it was not.
105
01:00:53,483 --> 01:00:55,452
It was some preachers.
106
01:00:55,519 --> 01:00:58,255
These guys were faithful.
They come every week.
107
01:00:58,322 --> 01:01:01,391
So I start listening to
them, and some of the
108
01:01:01,458 --> 01:01:04,394
things that I had heard
when I was a child in
109
01:01:04,461 --> 01:01:07,998
church, they start coming
back into my memory.
110
01:01:08,065 --> 01:01:11,802
And I look in that cell,
and I find there's a
111
01:01:11,869 --> 01:01:14,171
couple of old
bibles in there,
112
01:01:14,238 --> 01:01:16,440
some of them where the
pages are missing,
113
01:01:16,506 --> 01:01:18,909
but I found one that had
all the pages in it,
114
01:01:18,976 --> 01:01:20,778
and I called
that one mine.
115
01:01:20,845 --> 01:01:24,348
As I lay there
reading that Bible,
116
01:01:24,414 --> 01:01:27,351
I'm looking at the perfect
plan that Christ
117
01:01:27,417 --> 01:01:31,555
had laid out for us,
and I realized that
118
01:01:31,621 --> 01:01:33,724
I was a terrible sinner.
119
01:01:33,791 --> 01:01:37,895
I had sinned and fallen
short of the things that
120
01:01:37,962 --> 01:01:40,664
god had us to do
as his people.
121
01:01:40,731 --> 01:01:44,234
And I asked him to
come into my life.
122
01:01:44,301 --> 01:01:45,803
You know, there was
a time in my life
123
01:01:45,870 --> 01:01:49,439
I didn't know if I had
gotten so bad that
124
01:01:49,506 --> 01:01:52,242
maybe I couldn't be saved.
125
01:01:52,309 --> 01:01:57,247
But god does not make
promises he cannot keep.
126
01:01:57,314 --> 01:02:00,017
God saved me, and anyone
else that would
127
01:02:00,084 --> 01:02:02,352
call on him, he
can save you too.
128
01:02:02,419 --> 01:02:20,971
