Recently, a young man, Gary, placed a newspaper on the table in front of me. “Jan, I brought this paper to show you. 
Someone gave it to me today and I read the whole thing except for the front page.
“I never get this paper but I read all the way through then folded it and threw it on my bunk. Just then, I glanced at the picture on the front.” Gary pointed to a large picture of an elderly bearded man in the embrace of a younger, taller man in a military uniform and went on with his story. “I hadn’t noticed until I put it down but then I thought that looks like my dad. I’ve been searching for my dad for years. I picked it up again and read it. Sure enough, it’s my dad! He’s a homeless veteran and a news team was doing a live filming about homeless vets. This man hugging my dad, well, it turns out that he’s my cousin.”
David, Gary’s cousin, was watching the news cast. He recognized Gary’s dad as one of the homeless veterans. He went immediately to where they were filming and found him. The camera caught Gary’s dad and David embracing and these two men were the focal point of the news story and an answer to Gary’s prayer. After years of searching for his dad, he finds his picture on the cover of a newspaper someone handed him… a newspaper he rarely reads. Gary was elated!
“I wrote to the women who wrote this news story to see if she could get me contact information for my dad so I can write to him.”
We were all astounded at this amazing story. However, there was another testimony that night involving this same shy young man who loves Jesus.
