Lifeguard on Duty: Extending a Lifeline to the Lost

A talented young lifeguard, Nikolay, successfully advances up the career ladder in his home guard station. When a new boat appears at their jetty, he has a chance meeting with a real lifeguard boat crew led by Noland. This meeting forces him to question everything, even the validity of all he knows and did throughout his life. This chance meeting saves his own life. Noland represents a strong disciple with lots of experience who knows how to save and serve Christians, and how to build new churches and discipling centers. Such a person loves our Savior Jesus, disciples more followers, and teaches them to go and do likewise, so that multiplication of disciples occurs.
