Power of Prayer: Clerk's Compassion and Prayers during Robbery Keep Her Safe and Touch the Heart of the Robber
Aimee Herd - Lee Ferran, Suzan Clarke, Sabrina Parise – Good Morning America - (Oct 23, 2009)

"I believe the Lord sent us both together…"

Angela Montez will be the first one to tell you she was "scared and crying," during a recent robbery, but police and others say she was very brave.

When 23-year-old Gregory Smith—first posing as a loan applicant—surprised the business' only clerk on duty by hopping over the counter wielding a gun, Montez (the clerk) broke down in tears.

Smith on his knees with Montez"I can't even explain the feeling of a gun," she told Good Morning America (GMA). "I remember looking at the silver gun, and the finger was on the trigger. I thought, 'This is it, I'll never see my babies again.'" (Photo: ABCNews.com)

But God was about to use Montez to reach that troubled young man.

Montez began to talk to him, telling him it wasn't worth it to throw away his life for some money. He responded by explaining that it was his last resort. He told her he'd been in the service, and had skills, but that no one would hire him, and he had a daughter to provide for.

The two talked uninterrupted for some time. At one point Smith reached toward his pocket for his gun and Montez began to cry and pray aloud....(more)

Yes yes. . .I can testify to God answering prayers! He is soooooooo good!! This was a very awe inspiring story. As the end gets nearer and nearer, I think that we're going to have even more overt moves of God.

Hi Gelar, Your site shows that you have connections with the World Wide Church of God. Under the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong. I believe this to be correct. Followers of the Way international was also connected to this group. Is this one in the same but of a different name?

I will allow this site to be posted for references only, in that it is concidered a cult by main stream Christianity.
