Benjamin confessed that since giving his life to Christ he had not been living the way God would want him to: he was struggling with the desire to do things he knew were wrong because he was having difficulties in his life. But being with the DRIME team again and hearing about all that God had done, he realized that it was not by random chance that he first encountered the DRIME team.
One of the pastors that we connected with shared with us: "Many times you've visited his church doing ministry but I have just come to realize how effective the tool is. The materials you have for evangelism have impacted my life."
But there was a voice inside of me that said "Don't leave, but call on the name of the Lord for shelter instead. You still have a God! The One that made you."
The DRIME member had barely finished asking her if she wanted to give her life to Jesus and she quickly responded: "Yes, I want accept Him in my life. "

He was then asked by the team member to imagine that there is a judge who is the father of a child who is a delinquent on trial, and the father was the one who had to judge his son in public for the crimes he committed. This member asked "Could the father judge in all honesty and honour his commitments as a father by defending his own son who has never done any good deeds in his life?" Samuel responded quickly: "No."
The intensity in his face and quick pace of his questions made me think that he was trying to start a debate, but I quickly learned that he was just hungry for truth. "My father is a Christian and my mother is a Muslim. I am older now, and I can choose for myself."
"This morning, I was overwhelmed by all of my problems, and with no fixed destination in mind, I left the house. That's how I got here on this beach..."
