Two miles from shore, exhausted from hours of fighting the waves and starting to cramp up, two teenage swimmers turned to prayer after becoming stranded off the Florida coast.

Moments later they were rescued by a passing boat. But for Tyler Smith and Heather Brown, both students of Christ’s Church Academy in Jacksonville, it wasn’t just the rescue that strengthened their faith in the divine, but the name of the vessel—'The Amen.”
