It is a true story of faith, courage, conviction, and salvation. The story is beautifully portrayed in the film <em>Rossvally: from the Synagogue to the Savior<\/em>, which was written and produced by Dr. Peter Colon, a Christian minister in Jewish ministry. The film is based on the personal testimony of Civil War Jewish army surgeon Dr. Max Lewis Rossvally. First published in 1876, his story continues to touch the hearts of many individuals.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-portrait.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11321\" src=\"http:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-portrait.jpg\" alt=\"Rossvally Portrait\" width=\"467\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-portrait.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-portrait-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>While a surgeon at Gettysburg, Dr. Rossvally saw many soldiers with severe wounds, but one, in particular, drew his attention, a boy too young to be a soldier who enlisted as a drummer. His name was Charlie Coulson, whose grave injuries required amputation of an arm and a leg. The boy trusted in his faith in Jesus Christ to see him through the surgery without the use of chloroform. Dr. Rossvally was amazed at the boy\u2019s deep-seated convictions in his Christian faith and did as the boy wished.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-3719143.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11322 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-3719143.jpg\" alt=\"Rossvally movie scene.\" width=\"593\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-3719143.jpg 593w, https:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-3719143-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>Following surgery, Dr. Rossvally could not free himself from the thoughts of this boy\u2019s deep faith. His own heart could not be quieted or reconciled. After all, he was a Jew who snubbed the idea of Jesus Christ. How could this boy draw such strength, comfort, and peace in his Christian faith until his dying breath? The boy whose life was fading looked forward to being in glory. Dr. Rossvally saw the stark difference between the boy\u2019s convictions in faith and his own.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-2368836_orig.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11323\" src=\"http:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-2368836_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Rossvally portrayed in the movie.\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-2368836_orig.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.westpark-baptist-dev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/rossvally-2368836_orig-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>From that time forward, Dr. Rossvally\u2019s life would never be the same as echoes of the boy\u2019s last wish continued to stir in his thoughts.
