A MIRACULOUS CONVERSION!

     Stalin, a ruler of Russia, ordered a purge of all Bibles and Christians.  Thousands of Bibles were confiscated and thousands of Christians were sent to prison from the town of Stavropol.

     After the fall of Communism in Russia, a team of missionaries went to Stavropol to distribute Bibles.  They ran into difficulty getting their supply of Bibles shipped to them.  A town resident told them of a warehouse filled with Bibles confiscated during the time of Stalin.  The missionaries obtained permission to secure the Bibles from the warehouse.  They hired a crew of workers to help get the Bibles.  A college student who did not believe in God was one of the crew members.  Even though he did not believe in God he agreed to work because he needed money.  While working in the warehouse, the workers noticed the college student was missing.  Eventually, they found him in a corner of the warehouse.  He was crying.  The workers learned that he stole one of the Bibles.  Out of curiosity he opened the Bible and saw the handwritten signature of his grandmother.  Out of the thousands of Bibles in the warehouse he stole the personal Bible of his grandmother -- a woman persecuted for her faith in Jesus!  In that instant he was convinced that God was real.  He became a great witness of how the Word of God can transform a life.  He, indeed, experienced a miraculous conversion!

     Read the Bible!  It is good for your soul!
