A 2-year-old boy vanished from his home and spent the entire night alone in the Florida wilderness. Hundreds of people searched desperately, but after nearly 24 hours, there was still no sign of him. Then a retired Marine who had planned to spend the day fishing made a last-minute change of plans. He joined the search, and after stopping to pray, something happened that he would never forget. It happened in Brooksville, Florida, where little Joshua “JJ” Rowland had gone missing. Roy Link couldn’t bring himself to go fishing knowing a little boy was still out there, so he headed into the woods to help. After searching without success, Roy stopped and asked God for guidance. He eventually reached a clearing with two different wooded areas ahead of him. Unsure which direction to take, he trusted his instincts and chose one. Just minutes later, he heard a faint whimper coming from the brush. He followed the sound and discovered little JJ standing barefoot among the briars, covered in scratches but alive. When Roy approached, the frightened little boy reached up his arms to be picked up. Roy held him close and reassured him that he was going back to his mommy. After nearly 24 hours missing, JJ was finally reunited with his family. Roy later shared that he had prayed just ten minutes before finding the boy, and he believed the Lord had guided him to that exact spot. He had planned to spend the day fishing. Instead, he became the answer to a family’s desperate prayers. Sometimes God works through ordinary people who are willing to listen.
