C. Read, a US Marine, was stationed in Hawaii during the “Iranian Crisis” of 1979. While she was on a temporary assignment to Yuma, Arizona, the Iranian students seized the American Embassy in Tehran, and took several American hostages.
A special friend of hers was on a six-month deployment to Japan and was prepared to go to Iran at a moment’s notice. It was such distressing time in Read's life, and her love and concern for her friend caused her to call out to God to intervene.
At that same time, a young Marine, whom Read had never met, approached her as she was leaving her barracks in Yuma. He handed her a Bible, and said, “Here, I think you need to read this.” He just walked away, and she never saw him again, but she will never forget him!
That brief encounter was a major turning point in Read’s life, and in November 1979, she committed her life to Jesus Christ in the deserts of Yuma. She did take his advice, and began reading and studying the Bible, but that was just the beginning of her journey. Much has happened since then, and by God’s grace she will continue unto the End!
