ROADSIDE WITNESS

Bandits who tried to rob an evangelist ended up giving their lives to Christ. The evangelist and his associates were returning from a conference in Jayapura, Indonesia, when two gunmen stopped them. When they rolled down the window of the car to give the robbers money, a person inside told the bandits that they had just come from giving a seminar "about the Kingdom of God"

"Why don't you hold a seminar here? Then we can be freed from our drinking" one of the bandits said. The evangelist got out of the car and explained what sin is and his need to trust in Christ for forgiveness and to be freed from alcoholism. The man knelt in the middle of the road to pray, and when he stood, "his deliverance was visible," the evangelist said. "His body relaxed noticeably." Another member of the gang also asked to become a Christian.
