Follow Christ Even When Facing Great Tragedy - Tim Conway

  • 0:00 - 0:06
    You know when Geoff Thomas was just here?
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    He was sitting on our sofa
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    and he told a story that
    I'm not going to forget
  • 0:10 - 0:13
    the rest of my life.
  • 0:13 - 0:19
    He told about a man from the U.K.
  • 0:19 - 0:24
    A pastor, a preacher who Geoff said
  • 0:24 - 0:29
    was powerful, effectual preacher.
  • 0:29 - 0:38
    This man, his 18 year old daughter
  • 0:38 - 0:45
    went with friends to India.
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    Some kind of vacation.
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    She went out on day
    with one of her friends,
  • 0:51 - 0:56
    and the friend wanted to go do something
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    and the girl didn't want to do it.
  • 0:58 - 1:03
    So, she stayed put.
  • 1:03 - 1:07
    They never saw her again.
  • 1:07 - 1:12
    Geoff said that her dad went to India
  • 1:12 - 1:17
    every single year for years
  • 1:17 - 1:22
    trying to follow up
    reports on a white girl
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    that might be seen somewhere.
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    Geoff talked about the people
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    that heard him weeping.
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    I think he mentioned in the hotel,
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    the people in India would hear him
  • 1:37 - 1:42
    just weeping.
  • 1:42 - 1:44
    Can you imagine that?
  • 1:44 - 1:48
    I thought about that with this.
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    Is this what this man bargained for
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    when he threw in with Christ?
  • 1:55 - 1:56
    But when Christ called him
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    to stand in those flames,
  • 1:58 - 1:59
    can you imagine?
  • 1:59 - 2:00
    Angry.
  • 2:00 - 2:04
    I'm Your servant. Where is my daughter?
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    He never found her.
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    He never found her.
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    He died two months ago
  • 2:10 - 2:15
    and never found her.
  • 2:15 - 2:20
    He never turned his back on Christ.
  • 2:20 - 2:21
    Why?
  • 2:21 - 2:25
    Because there's where
    your faith is tested.
  • 2:25 - 2:29
    What do you believe most?
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    As much as his heart hurt,
  • 2:31 - 2:37
    he believed: I need Christ more.
  • 2:37 - 2:40
    I need Him more.
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    This is an excerpt from the full sermon:
  • 2:43 - 2:45
