Much!

They caught the guys. One of the guys wrote a letter to our pastor begging our forgiveness. Said that he knew the Lord would never forgive him for what he'd done, but hoped that we might. Bro. Nick had the police bring him to the church and explained to this young man (18?) about God's forgiveness. The guy ended up on his knees, asking the Lord into his heart.

Then Bro. Nick explained that the Father had forgiven him, but that he would have to ask the church himself if we forgave him. So Bro. Nick read the letter to the church, and called the young man to the front. He was in tears. Bro. Nick asked "Well, church? Do we forgive him?" and we all stood up and said we did. (Remember, I belong to a massive church, so this was quite a showing).

So, the guy ended up JOINING our church, being baptized.

The next thing you know, he's got his little brother coming and HE ends up joining the church! These guys were completely lost!

Now the guy robbed a lot of churches. He's got time he's going to have to do, I imagine...still, thought you might like to know the rest of the story.
