Last June, the Johnsons traveled to Mozambique to retrace their son's steps and meet the people with whom Jeremiah had built relationships. There, Johnson baptized 17 men and women whom his son helped lead to Christ during Jeremiah's short time in the country.

Though Johnson obviously wishes his son were alive today to continue what he started, he would not change where Jeremiah was when he died.

"I wanted him to follow the Lord, even if it meant dying," he said. "That's a hard thing, but that's the truth."

How many of us have impacted 17 lives, in our entire lives? This man, at 21 did it in a matter of weeks.

I pray for their loss and grieving. I celebrate and praise for this mans life.

Just curious, how many of us make our 21-one year old children do anything? Mine made their own decisions.
