People on the street watching him, there we prayed with him till he gave God his heart.

Yesterday standing.... I hope the little fellow don’t.... He won’t. I’d come with my wife, and Mrs. Woods, Brother Roy Roberson somewhere here, Brother Woods, we’d stopped on over here at this little Youngstown Shopping Center to get a package that Sister Woods had. And while we was standing there, a young fellow walked up and introduced himself, a stranger to me. Another young man walked up and said they were from either Alabama . . . I believe Georgia,
‘cause I asked them if they knowed our Brother Welch Evans. And we talked a few minutes. And when I went to leave, this young man looked at me. As the young other fellow and his little boy walked away, this young man looked at me; he  said, “Just one thing I want to say.”
 I said, “Are you a believer, are you a Christian?”
 Said, “No, sir!” He said....

42 I might not quote just the word he said here, but he might’ve been a little skeptic. I’d asked him about the things---the
Angel of the Lord appearing. And he said he had heard about it, but he never been to church before . . . this church. I said, “Do you believe it?”
 Said, “Yes, sir! He said, “I’ve been watching something.” Said, “People’s been telling me about these predictions and things, and I heard on a tape that you predicted how California would crack away like that.” And said, “When I saw that in the paper, then I believed it.” He said, “I’m coming today or tomorrow (that’s today) for my first time.”
 I said, “The Lord bless you, Son,” and started to shake his hand.
 He said, “But I want to say something to you, Sir.” He said, “I’m as lost as lost can be.” He said, “I’m like a coin in a  sandpile: lost!”
43 I said, “But you don’t have to stay that way; there’s Someone standing present now who can find you the minute that you’re ready to be found.”
 He said, “I’m ready!”
 I said, “Would you bow your head?”
 He said, “I’m not ashamed.” Not only that, but he got down on his knees there in that parking lot before all the people. People on the street watching him, there we prayed with him till he gave God his heart. He come up a sinner, went back a child of God. He walked up the side of the car dead and went back alive.
44 I said, “The pool will be open tomorrow.”
  There is a fountain filled with blood,
  Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
  Where sinners plunge beneath the flood,
  Lose all their guilty stains;
 I said, “Rise and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, calling upon the name of the Lord. God will fill you with the Holy Spirit, and give to you these great things, and make you so you can see it.”
