A man walked into her store and pulled out a gun. Instead of screaming, she calmly said, "I'm going to talk to you about the Jesus I have."

The man reasoned that he need money for his rent, as he faced evicition. But Nayara continued to share her faith with the masked man.

"Jesus helps you, he can change your life. Go back to church. Find a job. Get real friends in church. Talk to a pastor, they can pray for you. You don't need to do this, Jesus is coming soon," she told him.
Defeated by the truth of her words, he turned around and left the store empty-handed.
No doubt, the experts will come out of the woodwork. "Just comply with their demands. Just do what they want. Losing your life isn't worth the money."
But there is something inspirational in the boldness of this young woman.
She is a vivid example of Jer 1:8.
"Don't be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you, declares the Lord""I really hope I planted a little seed in his heart," she told ABC news.
Nayara. You planted a seed of boldness in my heart.

Real conviction...in the face of death, unmoved from the truth. Great story.
This story is so fantastic! It is unbelievably inspirational. After reading this, I only want to try to be as bold in daily life! Sometimes, we feel intinidated to talk to regular strangers about Jesus and this brave girl witnessed to a burgler! Great posting!
I love this story. Thanks for sharing. Such an encouragement.
Wow! Bold witness in the face of death...GOD bless her and help us all to be bold martyrs for CHRIST.
My sister had a very similar experience once. God can powerfully protect those who are bold for Him.
