Before John Wayne passed away, a young TEEN gave the Duke hope! Robert Schuller’s teenage daughter, Cindy, was in an accident and had to have her leg amputated. John Wayne was a big fan of Pastor Robert Schuller, and John heard about his daughter.

John Wayne wrote a note to her saying: Dear Cindy, sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you will be all right. Signed, John Wayne. The note was delivered to her and she decided she wanted to write John Wayne a note in reply.

Teen Cindy wrote: Dear Mr. Wayne, I got your note. Thanks for writing to me. I like you very much. I am going to be all right because Jesus is going to help me. Mr. Wayne, do you know Jesus? I sure hope you know Jesus, Mr. Wayne, because I cannot imagine heaven being complete without John Wayne being there. I hope, if you don’t know Jesus, that you will give your heart to Jesus right now. See you in heaven.” Cindy Schuller

She put that letter in an envelope and wrote across the envelope. “John Wayne.” A visitor came, and Cindy told them: I just wrote a letter to John Wayne, but I don’t know how to get it to him. Her visitor replied: That’s funny, I am going to have dinner with John Wayne tonight in Newport Beach. Give it to me and I will give it to John. Cindy gave her visitor the letter.

There were twelve people sitting around the table for dinner with the Duke. They were laughing and cutting up, and the visitor reached in his pocket. John Wayne was seated at the end of the table and Cindy’s visitor took the letter out and said: Hey, Duke, I was in Schuller’s daughter’s room today and she wrote you a letter and wanted me to give it to you. Here it is. The 12 passed it down to John Wayne and he opened it. They kept on laughing and cutting up and someone happened to look down at John Wayne. He was crying.

Hey, Duke, what is the matter? John wept as the letter was read, then he took it, folded it, put it in his pocket, and he pointed to the man who delivered it to him and said: You go tell that little girl that right now, in this restaurant, right here, John Wayne gives his heart to Jesus Christ and I will see her in heaven. Just three weeks later, John Wayne died in 1979.

Philippians 2:2-7 “Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” His likeness is in you, share it.
