A squirrel was loose in the building at First Baptist Church Timpson, Texas, so the pastor sent out a notice that he needed a trap to catch it. By the end of the day, a squirrel trap was set and a man he had been praying for was a new brother in Christ.
W. Dee Daniel, the pastor, had led a woman to Jesus last year, and when he asked if she would like to be baptized and join the church, she said she wanted to wait for her husband. Daniel told her he would be praying for her husband’s salvation.
It turns out her husband is a squirrel hunter — the man who showed up to set a trap in response to the pastor’s plea. Before he left, the pastor asked if he’d thought about his spiritual condition. When the man said he had, Daniel asked about his salvation experience.
“I’ve never been saved,” the man replied.
The two sat down to talk, and the pastor asked the man what was keeping him from accepting Christ as Savior.
“I guess I just didn’t know how,” he said.
