"Listen man, I will go to hell when I die, and that's just the way it is. With all the things i have done, aint no god going to save my soul dawg." This is the response I got from a massive man named Femi after I asked him our question of the day which was "What do you think happens when you die?" Femi was a mammoth of man. He was from Nigeria, and looked like he could basically beat up any guy in the world. As I began to speak with him, he shared his life story, how he had been in prison a time or two, done some bad things, but all his life he had a feeling God was looking out for him in some way. About a month ago, one of our staff members ran into him on the street while doing the Gospel Guy and had a great "seed planting" conversation with him. At that time, Femi was not open to the idea that maybe God could love him still after all he had done. Well, the Holy Spirit had been working on him for the past month, and the other day, Femi gave his life to Christ rite there on the street. God finally broke through his hard heart. I look back to that initial conversation my friend had with him...the "seed casting" one and thought about how faithful God is when seeds of faith are planted in the hearts of man.
