Like the Penitent Thief who was crucified next to Jesus, Ernest Gaither (1924 - 1947), also found salvation during the closing moments of his life. While biding his time on death row, Gaither was taught a neat little trick that all doubters should try, God showed up and Gaither learned of his worth.
More about Gaither's experience can be read on this website.
