Today I had a meeting with Pastor Ben. On a recent trip to Ecuador, he took 5 Armor of God Challenge coins. He told me that he gave three coins to three atheists. The first was his taxi driver, who picked him up at the airport and dropped him off at the hotel. Pastor Ben contracted the man to be his daily driver for the rest of the week. During those daily drives across the city the taxi driver was shown the Gospel, given a coin. At the end of the week, the taxi driver invited Pastor Ben to his home to meet his family, have a meal and explain the Gospel to his wife and children. The whole family accepted Christ! Wow! What a story, and the Armor of God Challenge coin acted as a bridge to the Gospel of Jesus. The following is a video of Pastor Ben followed by a picture of the taxi driver with his family who now believe in Jesus and accepted Christ as Savior.
By the way, Pastor Ben explained that he gave two coins to the hotel manager and a staff member. At the end of the week, these two men also accepted Christ as Savior! The Armor of God Challenge coin can act as a “bridge” for conversation and ultimate presentation of the Gospel. Good Job Pastor Ben. The coin is just a cheap piece of shiny metal, but it’s the Gospel that has the power to change hearts as convicted by the Holy Spirit.

What a testimony to the impact this coin can have. What a bridge!
