DULUTH, Ga. (BP) A simple furniture purchase turned into a life-changing experience for two men visiting Pastor James Merritt this past weekend.
Merritt, pastor of Cross Pointe Church in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth, was able to lead both men, who did not speak English, to make a decision for Christ communicating solely through the Google Translate app on his phone in what Merritt described as “one of the greatest witnessing experiences I’ve ever had in my life.”
Bartolo and Osmani, brothers originally from Cuba, were picking up some furniture when Merritt, who is also chair of this year’s SBC Resolutions Committee, began talking to them by using the voice option on the Google Translate app.
