Journey of Miracles
“What am I going to do?” Eric wondered. Months earlier, he’d quit his job to keep the Sabbath. Now, his bank account was empty—and so were the cupboards.When a friend invited him to go bowling one evening, Eric wasn’t in the mood. “Besides, I don’t have the money.” “Come on—my treat!” his friend pleaded. When Eric returned home, a new rice cooker sat on his counter, full of freshly cooked rice. The cabinets were full, and a note on the refrigerator read, “Look at the birds of the air …” (Matthew 6:26). “Thank you, Lord!” Eric cried. God was leading Eric on a journey of miracles that began at amazingfacts.org.
Filling a Void
As a teen, Eric “dove headfirst” into video games, even placing third in a worldwide competition. At twenty, he left home to start a business. After his business failed, however, Eric experienced homelessness during a bitter winter. By the time he returned home, Eric was still looking to fill the void in his life. When he began exploring the Bible, Eric discovered sermons on Amazing Facts’ website and ordered our Study Guides. This led him to a Sabbath-keeping church, where he studied with the pastor and was baptized.
The Sabbath Struggle
Soon after starting a new job, Eric was ordered to work on Sabbaths. Appeals to managers for a religious exception were denied, so Eric complied. Initially, he felt awful. He asked for forgiveness and donated his Sabbath wages. Yet, as time went by, his conviction faded. One weekend, while two friends sat in his living room, Eric played video games with a third friend in another room. When Eric emerged, his two friends were in tears. Holding his Amazing Facts Study Guides, they cried, “Eric, why haven’t you told us about these things?” “Something snapped,” Eric writes. In that moment, he determined he wouldn’t work another Sabbath—and he’d stop playing video games. The following Monday, Eric submitted his resignation. Though he struggled to pay bills, God made up the difference—and filled his cupboards too.
A New Ministry
Today, Eric runs a mobile service providing showers, laundry cleaning, and other assistance for the unsheltered. This year, 20 employees will provide services to 2,500 people. “Without Amazing Facts, I don’t know where I’d be,” Eric writes.
Thank you for your ministry to Eric and countless others through your continued support of Amazing Facts!
