Two Florida teenagers who got stranded in the ocean for two hours and cried out to God for help were miraculously rescued by a boat named The Amen.
Tyler Smith and Heather Brown, both 17, went for a swim off of Vilano Beach near St. Augustine on Thursday April 18 for senior skip day.
But their hooky adventure turned into a fight for their lives when they ventured too far into the water and got stuck in the powerful waves.
The teens ended up stranded in the middle of the ocean two miles off the shore, fighting the waves for two hours.

They were stranded in rough waves two miles off shore for two agonizing hours, crying out to God for help, when a boat called The Amen came to their rescue
Desperate, they started to cry out to God for help. They’ve been friends since fourth grade and are seniors at Christ's Church Academy.
'I cried out: "If you really do have a plan for us, like, come on. Just bring something,"' Tyler recalled to Fox30, adding his leg started to cramp just moments before a boat came to their rescue.
Captain Eric Wagner manning the boat called The Amen found the two screaming for help in the water.
'Over all the wind, waves, and engines, we thought we heard a desperate scream. Exhausted and near the end, the boy told me he called out for God's help. Then we showed up,' Wagner said.
