"Now, I'm ready to leave this earth."
These were the words of an elderly man who gladly accepted the New Testament we offered him. This man told us that he was almost 100 years old, and yet his age did not stand in the way of him realizing the truth of God's Word. Our volunteer read him a passage from the Gospel of John. Overwhelmed by these words, the man asked her to place a bookmark on that page so he could read it again. When he heard the message of salvation his eyes filled with tears. Seeing this man's heart, the volunteer prayed with him. He repented of his sins and accepted Jesus as Lord. Our volunteer said that after the prayer his face was bright and full of joy. Obviously touched by God, he said "Now I'm ready to leave this earth."
