It's sort of crazy that Evel Knievel died this weekend. He just came to know Christ this year. When Brock was at the Crystal Cathedral this past April, Evel Knievel was scheduled to be there the following week. After fighting God for 68 years, he finally became a Christian in March of this year. He told his testimony at the Crystal Cathedral on Palm Sunday this year. He explained that the Lord simply got a hold of him. The same year, the Lord called him home.
Years ago, Brock went with his pastor to visit a woman whom they didn't know who was in the hospital. Brock didn't really want to go because he's not fond of hospitals, but he went anyway. The lady didn't have any affiliation to any church, so they decided to reach out to her. After speaking with her, she gave her life to Christ. It would almost appear that she was simply waiting for someone to lead her in that. Two days later, she died.
People had been praying for Evel Knievel for years. To our knowledge, nobody had prayed for the lady in the hospital. I guess it just goes to show that you need to be obedient to the Lord in whatever He asks. He's the One that holds eternal life in His hands. You never know the timing of life here on earth either.

Please pray for my mom (Sylvia). She has a biopsy on Friday. She is a breast cancer and liver cancer survior and a spot has shown up where her mastectomy me was performed.
Thanks,
Teresa (in Georgia)
I'm disappointed because our church will be going to Jekyll instead of Ft Walton as originally planned. I so wanted our youth to see and hear Brock's message. My prayer is that another opportunity will come for our youth. We so need such a witness in this area. This is rural South Georgia and in my heart I feel it would bring about such a stirring in both the adults and the youth.
Thanks for all you do!
Teresa
I will be praying for your mom, Teresa.
WOW really? that's crazy
