God's story, your life.

Unfolding short stories.

We're praying for little Christopher because now he had been missing a few days.

Saturday the next day was going to be pretty critical because the assumption was he had gone without food and without water.

And he's a three-year-old little boy lost in very dense and thick woods where there's bobcats,

coyotes, there's snakes of different varieties, all of it's spiders, ants.

You know, it's a woods.

And so it's critical.

But we're entering into prayer.

The Holy Spirit told me you will go look for that boy tomorrow.

Today on unfolding short stories, we bring you an incredible story with Tim Halfen, presented

by our friend Rob Vischer from the God Out Loud podcast. Just a heads up, some of the content

might not be suitable for young listeners. When we heard Tim's story, we knew it was something special, a powerful example of how God

can use someone in such a specific and unique way.

The God Out Loud podcast shares immersive Christian stories, and if you're a fan of the unfolding,

you might enjoy God Out Loud as well. Tim Halfin heard that a local boy had been

missing for three days. As he prayed, he felt God say, you will go look for that boy tomorrow.

We were living in Houston, a suburb of Houston, in 1999. I don't know if you remember the Y2K scare. I used that as an excuse for us to move

out to the country. And so I originally bought 30 acres in a town called Magnolia. This is Tim Halifan,

a soft-spoken yet friendly Texan in his mid-60s. He works as a regional pharmacy director, and he's a husband, grandfather of one, and a proud

father of three boys and one girl.

Most of our friends have been empty nesters for years.
