Saved by Walter Schmietenknop

On Monday we heard the story of Mr. Walter Schmietenknop and his miraculous story of being saved from U-767 during World War 2. What was more impressive was that he told students and teachers that he did not come to talk about war; rather, his talk was about Jesus Christ. Check out his full story.
