Bande Aceh Hero Profiled

Scotty McAlvany

Many of you were introduced to Vanguard University senior Scotty in my post, "In the Hospital in Bande Aceh" last month. Now the Christian Examiner has written a very nice story on him:

BALI, Indonesia — Scotty McAlvany had no time to ponder the ways of God, but—even as he jumped from dying patient to dying patient, even as he sloughed through blood, vomit and tears, even as he filtered out the moans of those drowning from their own lungs, even as children shrieked as they stumbled into orphanhood—the college senior was in awe of His grace.

“I never felt it like that before, with all that death and dying, people screaming,” McAlvany, 22, said in a telephone interview just two days after returning to Southern California to finish his degree work. “God’s grace was so intense. There were so many people praying.”
