Episode 44: Mike D'Virgilio, The Drive-by Truth Shooter

One80: Testimonies of Transformation

The Hound of Heaven had been pursuing Mike D’Virgilio for many years. But when he was just minding his own business at a gathering, a complete stranger pulled up in a VW Bug, made a beeline to Mike, told him about Jesus, and left. The Good News the stranger shared would change Mike's life forever. If you ever get leery of talking to strangers about Jesus, you will be encouraged by this One80!
