"JESUS HELP ME. I don't think we're going to get out of this thing. I'm going to have to go out on faith."
It was the voice of Todd Beamer, the passenger who led the charge against the terrorists who had hijacked the United Flight that crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside. In an article titled "The Real Story of Flight Ninety-Three," Newsweek reveals, from the cockpit voice recorder, that "Todd had cried out more than once to his Savior." After passengers were herded to the back of the jet, Beamer prayed the Lord's prayer and the Twenty-Third Psalm just before he called out, "Are you ready, guys? Let's roll." Beamer's faith in Jesus has become known the world over.
As Flight 93 hurtled towards destruction, Todd Beamer could not have known, that his quiet prayers would ultimately be heard by millions, andthat the story of his last acts on earth, would be a witness to his Lord that he loved and served as a lasting example of true heroism.
