John harper ministry in England

After getting back to Britain, he was again invited to return and continue his ministry. He quickly made arrangements for his travel along with his six-year-old daughter Annie Jessie on board the Titanic. On the night of April 14, 1912, as the ship was cruising over the North Atlantic Ocean, it struck an iceberg ripping open several watertight compartments. The water began to pour into the ship.

As the ship was sinking, Harper was heard shouting, “Women, children, and the unsaved into the lifeboats!” Harper knew that the believers were ready to die, but the unbelievers were not. Gathering some people around him on deck, he raised his hands in prayer to comfort them.

He was also seen running after people to turn to Christ and be saved. As the ship began to lurch, he jumped into the icy waters and swam frantically to everyone he could reach to beseech them to accept Christ to be saved. Even in the face of death and drowning, Harper’s main concern was the salvation of souls.

Beloved, how concerned are you for the salvation of others?
