Testimony by Andy Magee

Sunday, September 24, 2017: 
“What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works?
Can that faith save him?  If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of
daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,”
and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?”
(James 2: 14-16)
While on temporary duty (TDY) with the military, David decided to eat lunch at
Subway.  When standing in line, he saw a man working who he knew from 5
years ago.  The man named Lovas saw him, got the attention of a co-worker,
and began telling the co-worker about David loud enough for all to hear.  He
began by pointing at David and saying, “This brother was a man who was there
for me when I was in a pit.”  You see, five years ago Lovas was a part-time Soldier
who got hooked on drugs.  During that time, he ended up losing his rank and
getting kicked out; however, David took steps to try and help Lovas get out of this
dark pit.  David along with others also went towards helping Lovas meet his needs
during this time, and David took several opportunities to share the good news
about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  This past week at Subway (five years
later), Lovas thanked David and told him how David impacted his life during that
dark time.  Today, he tells David that he is drug free, he has a job, and his life is
back in order.  Praise God for servants like David.
In Christ,
