Scott Stephenson: a testimony and a funeral
In mid-2010 a young man in our congregation ... received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour (John 1:12).
Tragically, less than six months after being baptized, he was dead, killed in a freak accident. Despite the sadness, his funeral became a vital testimony to many in our community.
“When the guilt and lies in my life all finally caught up with me, I looked up from the depths I had sunken to and I found love. I saw it first in the eyes of my wife who, despite having every reason not to, took me by the hand and led me back to Jesus. I was made to feel welcome at [our] church and, even though I thought otherwise, the walls did not crumble when I stepped through the door.”
