It was November 16, 2011 when Isaiah prayed to receive Christ as his Lord and Savior. From that point on he never looked back. His life was dramatically changed by Christ and he told everyone that would listen about Jesus and what Jesus had done in his life. AGWM Personnel in Spain, Bill and Diane Jackson, drove weekly for about an hour to visit Isaiah’s village, Fermoselle, to worship with nad minister to him, to his wife Flora, and to neighbors that would gather in their home to hear God’s Word. On February 27, 2015 Isaiah went to be with Jesus. So on February 28, the Jacksons went to conduct the funeral for Isaiah, not knowing how they would be received To their knowledge, it was the first time that there would be an evangelical funeral in Fermoselle.
Bill shares “As we drove there, I thought about what might happen. Maybe no one would go to this evangelical funeral. Or maybe some of his family would create a scene and destroy the service. But God was in control! The funeral home was packed with people, some we knew, but many that we didn’t know. As we began to minister, the presence of God came over all of us that were gathered. People that we had never met before sang with us. They nodded their heads in affirmation as I preached God’s Word. They were hungry and thirsty for hope; a hope that can only come from the Gospel.
“Many asked for copies of the words of the songs that we sang. Many told me and others that were with us how much they liked the words that were spoken and how they were encouraged. After the service we walked behind the hearse to the cemetery. As we all walked through that medieval village, I thought of Isaiah; one man, one soul, one person who found hope in Jesus and who even after dying, was giving the hope of eternal life to his village.
“What is the value of a human soul? It is priceless! It is worth the blood of Jesus that flowed down the cross to those who were there. it is worth the blood that flowed to people like Isaiah, and like you and me.”
