Woman’s Bold Witness Thwarts Robber’s Plans

She might be only 20 years old, but Pompano Beach, Fla., store manager Nayara Goncalves has the heart of a lion.

A man walked into her store and pulled out a gun. Instead of screaming, she calmly said, “I’m going to talk to you about the Jesus I have.”

The man reasoned that he need money for his rent, as he faced evicition. But Nayara continued to share her faith with the masked man.

“Jesus helps you, he can change your life. Go back to church. Find a job. Get real friends in church. Talk to a pastor, they can pray for you. You don’t need to do this, Jesus is coming soon,” she told him.

Defeated by the truth of her words, he turned around and left the store empty-handed.

No doubt, the experts will come out of the woodwork. “Just comply with their demands. Just do what they want. Losing your life isn’t worth the money.”

But there is something inspirational in the boldness of this young woman.

She is a vivid example of Jer 1:8.

“Don’t be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you, declares the Lord”

“I really hope I planted a little seed in his heart,” she told ABC news.

Nayara. You planted a seed of boldness in my heart.
