00:00:00,436 --> 00:00:05,500
You know when Geoff Thomas was just here?

2
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:07,881
He was sitting on our sofa

3
00:00:07,881 --> 00:00:10,240
and he told a story that 
I'm not going to forget

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,392
the rest of my life.

5
00:00:13,392 --> 00:00:18,887
He told about a man from the U.K.

6
00:00:18,887 --> 00:00:23,717
A pastor, a preacher who Geoff said

7
00:00:23,717 --> 00:00:29,424
was powerful, effectual preacher.

8
00:00:29,424 --> 00:00:38,185
This man, his 18 year old daughter

9
00:00:38,185 --> 00:00:44,590
went with friends to India.

10
00:00:44,590 --> 00:00:48,440
Some kind of vacation.

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,313
She went out on day 
with one of her friends,

12
00:00:51,313 --> 00:00:55,579
and the friend wanted to go do something

13
00:00:55,579 --> 00:00:58,479
and the girl didn't want to do it.

14
00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:02,761
So, she stayed put.

15
00:01:02,761 --> 00:01:06,695
They never saw her again.

16
00:01:06,695 --> 00:01:11,807
Geoff said that her dad went to India

17
00:01:11,807 --> 00:01:16,959
every single year for years

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,510
trying to follow up 
reports on a white girl

19
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:24,965
that might be seen somewhere.

20
00:01:24,965 --> 00:01:26,601
Geoff talked about the people

21
00:01:26,601 --> 00:01:31,003
that heard him weeping.

22
00:01:31,003 --> 00:01:34,216
I think he mentioned in the hotel,

23
00:01:34,216 --> 00:01:36,722
the people in India would hear him

24
00:01:36,722 --> 00:01:41,638
just weeping.

25
00:01:41,638 --> 00:01:44,239
Can you imagine that?

26
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:47,512
I thought about that with this.

27
00:01:47,512 --> 00:01:51,099
Is this what this man bargained for

28
00:01:51,099 --> 00:01:54,793
when he threw in with Christ?

29
00:01:54,793 --> 00:01:56,326
But when Christ called him

30
00:01:56,326 --> 00:01:57,882
to stand in those flames,

31
00:01:57,882 --> 00:01:58,829
can you imagine?

32
00:01:58,829 --> 00:01:59,660
Angry.

33
00:01:59,660 --> 00:02:03,933
I'm Your servant. Where is my daughter?

34
00:02:03,933 --> 00:02:06,418
He never found her.

35
00:02:06,418 --> 00:02:07,564
He never found her.

36
00:02:07,564 --> 00:02:10,362
He died two months ago

37
00:02:10,362 --> 00:02:15,114
and never found her.

38
00:02:15,114 --> 00:02:19,792
He never turned his back on Christ.

39
00:02:19,792 --> 00:02:21,305
Why?

40
00:02:21,305 --> 00:02:24,843
Because there's where 
your faith is tested.

41
00:02:24,843 --> 00:02:29,474
What do you believe most?

42
00:02:29,474 --> 00:02:31,311
As much as his heart hurt,

43
00:02:31,311 --> 00:02:36,885
he believed: I need Christ more.

44
00:02:36,885 --> 00:02:40,357
I need Him more.

45
00:02:40,357 --> 00:02:42,612
