Sometimes, a few kind words and an understanding heart can turn a person around instantly. And that is exactly what happened to the man who entered a mobile phone store in Pompano Beach, Florida, one day in an attempt to steal some money.

On a Saturday morning in July 2010, Nayara Goncalves, the 20-year-old employee just opened the store when the desperate man walked in. Upon asking her to open the cash register, Ms. Goncalves began speaking to him calmly. She reminded him that many people were facing difficulties right now and that Jesus had a better way and would help him change his life. The man ultimately left the store without taking any money saying, “You know one thing? Good will be coming your way for what you did today.” Ms. Goncalves later said, “I believe it was the Holy Spirit of God that really made me want to tell him about Jesus. I would never have been able to do that myself . . . [God] impressed me.”

Touched by the bravery and noble deed of this young woman, Supreme Master Ching Hai sent her a congratulatory letter in which is written, “We humbly salute your inspirational faith in God and deep-rooted belief in the goodness of humankind, providing a shining example of how love is mightier than fear and violence.” Our Association member presented Master’s letter to Ms. Goncalves on September 8, Golden Year 7 (2010), along with Her No. 1 international best sellers, The Birds in My Life, The Dogs in My Life, and The Noble Wilds, as well as DVDs, CDs and some vegan treats. Ms. Goncalves was deeply touched by Master’s loving gesture and repeatedly said thank you. She hopes that this event serves as a good indication of a world changing for the better, where everyone lives in peace and harmony in God’s love.

Ms. Goncalves happily receives Master’s Salute letter.
