Lauren learned CPR several times. For years, she’s worked as a lifeguard.
And, just a few days ago, she attended a CPR refresher course – never knowing it would come in handy so quickly.
On Saturday, the 22-year-old saved her father’s life.
Her dad was working on his car when the jack slipped and the car fell on top of him. Lauren was on her way out the door when she came upon him, unconscious and crushed.
There was no tire, and seconds later, she did what most would consider unthinkable, she moved a car weighing a ton and a half off her father’s body.
She opened up her father’s airway to make sure he could breathe, repeatedly telling him to ‘keep breathing.’
Her dad’s life was saved, thanks to his daughter. He’s in the intensive care unit and doctors said he has not experienced any permanent damage.
He has several broken ribs, some numbness and other fractures.
As Christian’s we should also know CPR – Christ’s Plan of Redemption!
Each and every Christian should be able to administer this life saving technique of sharing the Gospel of salvation with others.
He who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins. James 5:20
And though it may seem impossible to you to actually talk to someone about Jesus, you, too, can have that burst of power and determination just like Lauren did to lift the car off her dad.
Your strength doesn’t come from a rush of adrenaline but from the promise of God; I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil 4:13
Now go save a life!
