My first encounter with Yazid was over a year ago when I first preached at ECU. Tony and Shayna Denham were there with me and Eli, Evan and Miles showed up later that day. As I went back to ECU over the last year (about 6 times), it seems that Yazid was there almost every time listening. One time we even went to lunch together. At lunch that day, he seemed to say to me (without actually saying it) that Jesus WAS the only way. He wouldn't repent and trust in Christ though. I don't know what held him back.
