520 Even on your worst day, you may become someone else's best
hope. When Pastor Craig and Samantha Johnson moved to
Houston to take a position at Lakewood Church, they
thought they had it made. Two kids, a great job, a
beautiful home, and a solid plan for the future. Their
dream, however, was interrupted by the unplanned arrival
of a third child, Connor. Connor grew to become a normal,
healthy toddler. When he turned two, however, something
changed. He stopped talking, displayed behavioral problems,
and was no longer the cheerful, engaged little boy they
had known. No one seemed to have answers until the
official diagnosis was handed down-autism. Faced with
seemingly insurmountable odds-a child who could not speak
or respond with emotion-the Johnsons were filled with
unanswered questions and deep sorrow. God quietly spoke to
Craig's heart, telling him Connor's story would one day
touch the lives of thousands of people around the globe.
Craig and Samantha held that unlikely promise in their
hearts during the years ahead. They accepted the diagnosis,
but refused to believe their story was over. God was not
finished with the Johnson family. The Johnsons resolved to
love their son with everything they had, no matter what.
While Samantha watched over Connor's daily needs, Craig
began to search the Scriptures for promises from God,
Bible verses they could all cling to. They made sure
Connor did not miss Pastor Joel Osteen's Sunday morning
services and, over time, Craig and Samantha developed a
long list of positive verses designed to instill a daily
dose of faith, hope, and love into their family. Then, one
day, a miracle occurred.Connor spoke. Instantly flooded
with a variety of emotions, the Johnsons rejoiced. Their
boy could talk. And not only talk but perform a perfect
recitation of Pastor Joel Osteen's opening affirmation:
"This is my Bible, I am what it says I am . . ." Today
Connor is a vibrant young man, and his family's faith-
filled response to his diagnosis has launched a worldwide
wave of support and attention for special needs children
of all stripes. Connor's life has truly touched the world.
Written with transparency and humor, Our Champion will
inspire those in the middle of an unexpected trial to rise
up and become someone's champion.
