An IMPORTANT question
Every summer, my friend Nate comes to visit his grandmother. Two boys live right across the street from him, and he plays with them all the time. The two boy’s names are Frankie and Tommy. They come to my house a lot and ask if I can play, of course supervised. When I go outside to play with them I often wonder if they knew if they died that day where they would go. So as I wondered that inside, I decided to bring a Bible tract out and talk about it with them. I started out just with a normal conversation, for example: “Do you go to a church, which church do you go to.” After that, I got into the important conversation.
I said, “If anyone of you guys died today, where would you go?” Nate said with an, I do not care attitude, “I don’t really care where I go.” Tommy had the same attitude. Frankie was into what I was saying. He acted like he really wanted to know. Frankie said, “I don’t know where I would go.” He asked if I could tell him, I said “Sure.” I gave him a Bible tract and I read off the back to him that told about the Romans Road, and John 3:16 and other verses that had to do with the sort. He said that he wanted to know for sure where he would go. I said, “Would you like to kneel with me and ask for Jesus to save you?” He said, “Yes!”
Frankie knelt with me in a word of pray. After I prayed with him, I told him that if he didn’t mean that pray he will not go. He said he meant it! I was so excited for Frankie! I knew that the Angels and God were all singing for joy and praising! But as they left, I realized that the other two were not saved. I went inside my house crying so hard. My mom asked what was wrong, and I told her about Nate and Tommy didn’t want to get saved and were not into it. She told me, that they will have to think about that the rest of there lives about if they did die were they would go. I told her that I would pray for Nate and Tommy, to accept Jesus as there Savior.
I am still praying for them today, and I hope you will pray for them too. I am also praying for Nate to talk to his brother, Tommy and Nate and for him to keep asking them that question, “Where would you go if you died today?”

Great article, Lady Mj. I remember when you came home after you led those boys to the Lord. You were SO excited, and we were excited for you. Keep up the good work with the Good News.
I was excited when it got to the part where you told Frankie about the Lord. I will be praying for Tommy and Nate.
