In 1992, newlyweds John and Lisa Schneeberger were living a charmed life together in the small farming community of Kipling, Saskatchewan.

When Valda heard about the bone, she was rattled. The bushland surrounding Truro was dry and brittle and definitely wasn’t suitable for cattle grazing. It was an inhospitable area for anything other than rabbits and native wildlife, and Valda couldn’t recall ever seeing cows during her previous visits out there.

Nestled in the centre of a clearing hidden amongst tall birch and pine trees was a small, light-coloured A-frame tent. Ruth Koli had spotted it as she wandered through the glade with her five-year-old daughter. The secluded campsite overlooked Lake Bodom’s clear and tranquil waters from a vantage point along the eastern peninsula. The tent itself was not an unusual find.

Apologies to those who had already voted. Feel free to vote again or for the first time by picking an option below. For fairness sake, we've provided some new quotes to choose from. All four quotes are from just two episodes. We'll do the math and whichever episode gets the most total votes will be the one released.
Sorry for the mix-up.

These passages are known as the “Great Commission” and have led some Christians to believe they must save souls through conversion.
