Remembering Brad Truett

My friend Brad went home to be with the Lord this morning. He was 49. For those of you at Grace Summit, he is the coworker I spoke about at the end of the sermon on March 19. When I had heard that he was dying, I went to visit him (this was on March 7). You can read about that visit at the bottom of the GraceSummit link.

This morning, I googled his name, and found this - from the March 12 bulletin of the Clarkston Free Methodist Church:

"Brad Truett—friend of the Mujais family, accepted the Lord as his Savior this week. Please continue to pray for Brad as he endures pain and suffering from cancer. Pray that God would relieve Brad’s pain as He sees fit."

I called the Clarkston church and they connected me with Stephanie Mujais, who shared with me her side of the story. When she heard that Brad's cancer had returned in early February, she called him and talked about the Lord. She is a cancer survivor and really felt burdened to share with her former childhood neighbor. This was an answer to prayer of some other believers who had prayed that others would share with Brad. On March 3, she came to see him and Brad wanted to talk to her about God and heaven. He told her he wanted to be forgiven - and she explained how Christ died for our sins so we could be forgiven and prayed with him. Praise God for this sister who felt God's prompting and shared the Good News!

Thanks to all of you who prayed for Brad. Please continue to pray for his family as they go through this challenging time.
