Store clerk convinces potential robber to walk away. When a man pulled a gun in a Florida,
USA cell phone store, asking for all the money in the register, 20-year old store worker
Nayara Goncalves reached for the cash but also began speaking to him calmly. She reminded
him that many people were facing difficult times right now and that Jesus had a better
way and would help him find a job. The man ultimately departed from the store without
taking any money as he said, “You know one thing? Good will be coming your way for what
you did today.” Ms. Goncalves said later, “I believe it was the Holy Spirit of God
that really made me want to tell him about Jesus. I would never be able to do that myself…
[God] impressed me.”
We are thankful for your safety, Ms. Goncalves, and are touched by your elevating message
that inspired the would-be robber toward a path of honesty and peace. May both you and
he be graced with many blessings of continued goodness in life.
For her bravery and good moral example, Supreme Master Ching Hai is honoring Nayara Goncalves
with a special Letter of Salute, along with gifts such as her #1 international bestselling
books “The Birds in My Life,” “The Dogs in My Life,” and “The Noble Wilds,”
as well as her DVDs and so on. Supreme Master Ching Hai also conveyed her concern for Ms.
Goncalves and requested that our Association members inquire about the welfare of the young
woman and her family�
