Hello everyone, I will give a little background before I begin. Just under 2 years ago I had a paperound and someone phoned the shop saying they needed their dog to be walked, so I said I would, and I did. As I did I grew very friendly with Derek who is now an 80 year old man. I have visited him for whole days, a few hours in the morning or even just 5 minutes. The point is he is my dear friend. Last night myself and 3 friends all went up to his for a gathering, and everything was going well until he took me to the front room and told me he had stomach cancer and that he doesn't think he has long left, then he broke down in tears and asked me to get everyone to leave but me. He was crying and saying things like ''you're the best pal I ever had.'' It broke my heart to see him like this, but what hurt more was the fact that he was talking about suicide and he was also an agnostic (pessimistic to say the least.) So I grabbed his bible and I didn't know what to read because he was to emotional it was almost pointless, even when he was at his best he remember literally NOTHING I had read him from the bible, so I read the very last verse of revelations (I do not know why and got him to acknowledge his sins and ask for forgiveness in a prayer, then I prayed for him many times, and I tried to comfort him until it was 1 in the omrning. I don't think he took it seriously though, because when I kept speaking about Jesus he said ''it's no use Matt, it makes no difference now.''
Brothers and Sister of Christ I NEED your prayers to help me, help him. I also need your prayers so I have the wisdom of other ways to get him to accept Jesus. Thankyou, God Bless.
