The story of Johnny Ferrier is a great example of God’s friendship. When Johnny’s airplane broke down, he had plenty of time to bail out and save himself.

Instead, Johnny sacrificed his life and stayed with the plane so he could land it in an empty field. He saved the lives of the people in that neighborhood.
