         suicide, looking for a way out because life becomes too diffi-
         cult for them. When in actuality, all they have to do is accept

         Jesus Christ into their life so that life will start to make sense to
         them,” Adriana said.
              The man began to cry.
              Samaria continued, “Jesus is the missing link, he’s the miss-

         ing piece to the puzzle and he is the answer. So my question
         to you, sir, is would you like to try Jesus? Would you like to invite
         him into your heart as Lord and as Savior?”
              “Yes I will,” the man said while crying. Samaria handed
         the  man  some  tissue.  She  breathed  in  and  let  the  moment
         linger for a while. Then Katey spoke. “If you will sir, repeat after

         me.”
              Katey began to pray, pausing between sentences to al-
         low time for the man to repeat after her. “Father in the name
         of Jesus Christ, I am a sinner in  need of your grace. Jesus, I
         believe that you are the son of the living God.”

              The man began to weep even harder.
              “It’s okay sir,” Samaria said as she placed her right hand
         on the man’s left shoulder and continued the prayer. “Jesus,
         I believe that  you  died for my sins and that  you  arose  with
         all power in your hands. Jesus, I ask that you come into my
         heart and become my personal lord and savior. Father, I ask

         that you baptize me with your Holy Spirit and give me the evi-
         dence of speaking in tongues. In Jesus name. Amen.”
              “Now, if you will right here and right now, as a demonstra-
         tion of your faith and thankfulness, lift your hands and tell Jesus
         thank you for saving you.” Katey said.

              The  man  lifted his hands,  repeatedly  telling  Jesus  how
         much he thanked him for saving him.
              The man cried like a newborn baby and Samaria, Katey,
         and Adriana embraced him with a group hug. Afterwards the
         man looked at each of them. At that moment the girls no-
