Rusty Woomer's Journey From Death to Life

Rusty Woomer died in South Carolina's electric chair, April 26, 1991. He was buried in the Mount Carmel Cemetery, in Ohio County, fourteen miles south of Owensboro, Kentucky. He paid with his life for the horrible crimes that he committed. Five years before his death Rusty made life's most important journey, the journey from death to life. Rusty Woomer became a Christian. He turned from his sins to Christ, and received eternal life. This booklet describes that transformation whereby Rusty became a new creature in Christ. He died with a great sense of peace and a heart filled with the love of Christ. Mount Carmel Baptist Church (and former Pastor Thurmon Harris), and Brother Tom Shelton, Director of Missions of the Ohio County Baptist Association asked for and received permission to reproduce, in booklet form, this account from the book entitled The Body by Charles Colson. We hope and pray that God will use this true story of Rusty Woomer's salvation, from sin to Christ, to cause many others to make that same journey from death to life. All proceeds from this booklet go toward printing free copies to be used in jail / prison ministries.
