A friendship with Sandy was one that God wouldn't allow me to miss out on. In 2009, I was driving down Douglas Ave. when I spotted him for the first time and God told me to stop, get out and meet him. I initially thought he had been drinking by the way he walked, but I was reassured that he wasn’t and that he needed a friend. So I said hello and asked if he knew Jesus as His Savior. Sandy lit up and declared “Yes”, that Jesus was his Lord! I offered him a drive, and that was the beginning of a great friendship. We saw each other often. He was able to confide in me and we prayed together inviting Jesus to help him however he needed. He came to Victory Assembly with me and met people there who showed him God’s unconditional love. I enjoyed his excitement singing to God and his love for Jesus! Even though his was a difficult go at life, the Lord’s joy was his strength and we certainly did laugh a lot! I am very saddened to hear of Sandy’s departure; I had been meaning to call him and write but I am not good at keeping in touch ( I had moved away 2 yrs ago.) I am happy though because … Salvation is found in no one else but Christ Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:11 Grace, Sarah
