AGWM personnel in Spain, Bill Jackson, relates the following story. “We first met Antonio on July 16, 2014. We had heard from a couple of friends in Fermoselle, a village near the border of Portugal, that their neighbor had read the Bible a lot and wanted to talk with us. So we met with Antonio in their home. Antonio, an eighty-six-year-old man, had many questions and doubts as a result of his extensive reading of the Bible. He had made a list of our beliefs with which he disagreed. One by one, we went down the list and explained why we believe those things based on the Bible. I gave him a tract to read also. A week later I went back and met with again in their home. At that time he told me that he had read the tract that I had written and that he was one hundred percent in agreement with it. But I never met with Antonio again. I heard that he didn’t want to change churches (which I had not mentioned to him).
On October 22 Antonio showed up for our Bible study and has been attending since then. He loves the singing and worship, loves the Word of God and to hear it preached. He told me that he had decided that he would have nothing to do with us, but for some reason he felt compelled to return.
Last week he said that he wanted to be baptized and join our church because he believes that we are teaching and preaching the true message of the Gospel. I Said, "Antonio it isn't about joining our church. It is about following Jesus." Antonio said, "It is not by chance that I came here. God brought me here!"
