Answered Prayers – Two teens stranded in ocean prayed then rescued by boat named ‘Amen’

Two Florida teens prayed for help after being swept out to sea during a swim. A boat called the ‘Amen’ came to save them. When Eric Wagner bought the “Amen” six years ago, he had no way of knowing the boat would be the actual answer to two Florida teenagers’ prayers.

Wagner and his crew were sailing the 53-foot yacht from Delray Beach, Florida, to New Jersey last month when they heard “a desperate scream” over the engines, wind and choppy waves. They were about 2 miles off shore, so Wagner didn’t believe his ears at first. Then they saw an arm flailing in the water behind them. “It was kind of surprising we heard them. Especially when they were 150 yards away, almost 200 yards away,” he said. “But it was definitely the scream that we heard, and that’s why we were looking around.” They turned the boat around and raced to get close enough to throw life jackets and a line. “It felt like forever,” he said. Tyler Smith and Heather Brown were shivering uncontrollably and could barely talk.

“There is no other reason, or explanation in the world that that wasn’t God.”

    What are the odds? The two managed to stay afloat for so long, the sailors heard their cry over the waves, they saw them from so far away, and the boat was named “Amen”? In the movie, Breakthrough, where a young boy falls through the ice and is rescued, the rescuer is about to give up and he hears a voice say, “Go back.” He thinks it is his chief, but it wasn’t. But, that was why he found the boy. Somebody said it had to be God, and he replied that he didn’t believe in God.
