Crime Christian Woman Stops Robbery With Faith

[The Helper]

Held up at gunpoint, a store clerk invoked her faith to turn the desperate thief into a repentant gunman.

When a man tried to rob a MetroPCS cell phone store at gunpoint in Pompano Beach, Fla., store manager Nayara Goncalves, 20, calmly talked to the man about Jesus and her faith until he left without taking any money.

Goncalves said she doesn't know why she began to talk to him about Jesus.

"I believe it was the Holy Spirit of God that really made me want to tell him about Jesus," Goncalves told ABCNews.com.

"I realized what had just happened, what could have happened if God wasn't here with me," she said.

Hahha, what exactly COULD have happened? Got shot with a BB? Probably not even, if it wasn't even a real gun I doubt he bothered getting bullets for it...

 

[Sevion]

Rofl. He decided not to rob that store. And instead went to rob a shoe store.

It has nothing to do with faith. She kept calm, That's It

Ohhhhhhh leave her alone and just laugh about the fact that it worked. Please don't turn this into another "religion sucks" thread... I'm tired of reading them on thehelper.net under news stories that involve religious eccentrics. We get it, you define your world differently.

Listen to the recording, it's actually kind of sad. =(

The fact that he went somewhere else to rob meant that her "faith" didn't do anything.

 

[Sevion]

No! You're wrong! It DID do something! He went somewhere else instead <3

 

[Lyerae]

He left because she was annoying him.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

No! You're wrong! It DID do something! He went somewhere else instead <3

XD This.

Of course, something like this would come from Florida. And Miami at that!

"fuck, this bitch wont shut up, i'll never get my money. i'll try plan B."

is what i think more or less went on in his head.

On his way out the door, Camacho said to his victims, ``God bless you.''

Well, at least some of it stuck to his head.

And she kept calm due to her faith. I don't really see your point there.

It is an obvious sign that faith can help you help yourself. I don't believe that being faithful alone will save you or anything. You have to live your faith, which will have positive impact on the way you treat yourself and others. Just going to church every sunday and praying five pater nosters will help you *****.
Just my 5ct...

And she kept calm due to her faith.

If she was screaming out of fear sure the robber would rob her.
Well, he didn't and no one get hurt is only matter. But I can't say she stopped him with faith!

 

[Samael88]

I can honestly say that I would have slapped that bitch silly for preaching about religion to me robbery or not:nuts:

 

[Durandal]

I know I woulda left if someone had done that to me...

 

[Bronxernijn]

She didn't get shot and she didn't go to heaven. Her loss.

Maybe some good will come of this event yet. I know I myself, have realised something to be true, yet still gone against it initially, only later to reform and behave better. This could easily happen with this guy, so there is no justification for saying her faith did nothing in this case, just because he went to another place to steal.
