This is about Cassie Bernal who was shot by masked gunmen in the Columbine shooting (1999).Here's a personal account from someone who attended her memorial service:
"Cassie was totally anti-Christian 2 years ago. She was involved in
witchcraft and very suicidal. Her parents forcibly drug her into the youth
pastor's office. When she walked out, his reaction was, 'Wow, she's a lost
cause.' Through the prayers of her church's youth group, parents, and youth
pastor, about 6 months later Cassie walked back up to the youth pastor
and said, 'You'll never guess what I did today. I gave my life to Christ!'
From that point forward, Cassie was a radical evangelist on her campus.
The
funeral showed some videotape of her sharing parts of her testimony,
which were very powerful. It was because of her radical faith on campus
that she was asked if she believed in God. She replied, 'Yes, I believe
in Jesus.' (Not 'I believe in God' as the media has reported.)
The funeral was more of a celebration of Christ's work in her and through
her. A number of girls
shared how she had led them to faith. At Cassie's memorial service,
over 75 kids made first-time commitments to Christ."
