He was curious about what motivated the group, putting their lives at risk to supply displaced people with food , clothing, beds medicine & Bibles.

Team members explained that they were demonstrating Christ’s love in  a tangible way, bringing love & peace & goodness to people in need.

A long conversation began about Christ and as a result the colonel bowed & prayed, asking Christ into his life.

He said, ” Today I am the happiest person-I’ve had the privilege of making this decision.
