During Christopher’s time in the ICU after his devastating spinal injury, God opened an incredible door for the gospel. In the middle of the night - around 2:00 a.m. - Christopher began sharing his testimony and the good news of Jesus with his suite mate, a young man named David. For three hours, David asked thoughtful questions, listening intently as they spoke - separated only by a curtain, never even seeing each other’s faces. (Christopher, unable to move his head, could not look over anyway.)
By 5:00 a.m., David’s heart was ready. There in the ICU, he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior! A nurse was present the entire time and witnessed this sacred moment.
What a precious reminder that even in suffering, God is sovereign and His purposes prevail. Please pray for David—that he will be discipled and grow strong in Christ now that he has left the ICU.
