Shortly after my salvation, I witnessed to my mother. Not so politely, she asked me never to speak to her again about the Lord. Then ten years later, she was told she had only three months to live. Here was a millionaire who had everything in the world’s eyes, but deep inside she was empty. Six weeks before she died, my wife and I went to visit her. I asked if I could talk to her about Jesus. Finally, after almost eleven years, she said Yes. When I asked her if she knew where she was going to spend eternity, she wept; she said she wanted to know. I read several scriptures that showed how she could know for sure. Then my mom prayed and asked the Lord to save her! When my mother went home to be with the Lord, He made it possible for me to preach at her funeral in the Catholic Church with over 600 people in attendance. Let us never give up! “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are attentive to their cry” (Ps 34:15).—Tony Martin
