Coast Guard swimmer only saves people who believe in our lord and savior Jesus Christ

Filed · 1538

SAN DIEGO — As the sun rises on the horizon off San Diego's golden coast, bringing clarity and light to the day, a Coast Guard HH-65 Dolphin cuts through the air, and a rescue swimmer, Petty Officer 1st Class Chad Reinke, wrestles in his own personal half light with his responsibility as rescuer and protector for those who do not share his belief in his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

“While I witness this man sinking to the bottom of the ocean, I must ask myself: is this man committed to the Son of God himself? Does he trust God’s Love? Or, is he a sinful heathen that is succumbing to God’s plan?” Reinke pondered, debating his mission as a lifesaver in the United States Coast Guard and his role as one of God’s defenders against non-believers.
