It’s always heart warming to hear stories about things like this. In North Carolina a pastor definitely put his faith to the test after a man carrying an assault rifle, walked into his church. The incident occurred at about 11:40 p.m. Thursday, New Year’s Eve, at Heal the Land Outreach Ministries in Fayetteville.

The man told the crowd that the Lord had told him he needed to go to the church before he did something bad. The armed man and Pastor Larry Wright met near the front of the church.”Can I help you?” the pastor asked.”His next words were, ‘can you pray for me?'” Wright told the TV station. The man remained calm as Wright took the gun away and had deacons embrace him. Wright prayed, and the man fell to his knees and cried.

The man was invited to sit on the front row, and he asked to get saved before police arrived to take him to a mental health facility. He later returned to the church to thank Wright for helping him, stating that he was facing financial struggles and his wife was sick. He plans to get baptized this Sunday at the same church.

It’s very touching to hear stories like this. As a firm believer in God it felt good to hear that this man not only didn’t hurt anybody but also chose to get saved and baptized in that same church. I hope to hear similar stories like this in the future.
