A life sentence..


Chancy was shot to death a few days ago. I met him a few years ago when I was speaking to young people in North Pole, Alaska, and I had the privilege of leading him to Christ. A week ago Monday a friend of his was playing with a gun and accidentally killed him.

He lived long enough to tell the police it was an accident, so his friend will apparently face no criminal charges. However, he will now have to live with a sentence worse than death for the rest of his life as he will always remember the day he accidentally killed his friend. It is at least a comfort to know that Chancy was at peace with God, and we now need to pray that his family, his friend and all those close to him may find their peace in the same God during this difficult time. Our prayers go out for them today.
