Javier is a young man about 27 years old.  He has been religious all his life.  About two months ago, he went to his priest to ask him about his eternal destiny.  Since the response he got to his questions did not satisfy him, he continued to ask questions with the same unsatisfactory results.  However, because of Javier’s persistent questions and concern for his own lost condition, the priest finally in frustration said, “It would be best if you just didn’t come back!”

When I found him, Javier asked me those same questions.  I opened my Bible, let him read for himself and the Lord answered his questions!  When I asked him what he thought about it, he said with satisfaction, “That’s it!” and Javier accepted Christ as his Savior that same day.  However, because he was hurt and deceived before by his priest and church, he is growing very slowly.  He is afraid he will be hurt again.  Please remember Javier in prayer.
