25.38 A Remarkable VIP Visit with T.J. Valtierra (Part 3)

In this, the third and final episode of this amazing visit with T.J. Valtierra, the Smiths as this great young leader of the future what his hopes, dreams, and vision is for his life and ministry, and the inner-city that is so heavy on his heart.  T.J. truly does have vision, and he articulates it in a clear and compelling way.  In what is a real ongoing redemption story, God has taken this former prodigal, saved him, delivered him, and now uses him to spread the gospel in not only word, but in deed as well.  Aren't you blessed to hear this story?  There's not many that can match the total amazingness of this life and hope story.  And as heavy the discussion has been over these three episodes, the episode ends on a wonderful high not as T.J. talks about being honored by the Minnesota Vikings professional football team for his community service as one of their Hometown Heroes recognition.  Included in that honor were two tickets to that year's Super Bowl!  It's true that every once and a while God shows great favor on His servants.  And for T.J., this was a great honor.  It makes us wonder about the honors that are in store for faithful servants like T.J. Valtierra in heaven.  As good as this earthly honor was, I'll be looking to see his eternal reward in a. place called Paradise!  That's a long way from the inner-city mayhem he's been faithful to serve in here on earth!  What a great story!  What a great God!
