If life were a movie and things were scripted, Logan Vangemert would play the role of our unlikely hero.

The 9-year-old from Martin even has the cape to prove it. He earned it after completing a CPR training video.

"I did it because I wanted the cape," Logan said. "But not knowing the next day I would have to do CPR."

One day after he watched that video, Logan went to Sunday youth group at Radiant Church. Tom and Beth Adriance were filling in as the group's leaders that week for someone who was on vacation.

During worship, Tom collapsed.

"I had my hands up, and then I went down just like instantly," Tom recalled.

He hit a chair on the way down and was bleeding in two places, face down on the floor. Beth rushed over, but when she tried to speak to him, there was no comprehension in his eyes.

"There was blood dripping down from his forehead," Beth said.

Beth called for help rolling Tom over, but couldn't manage it. Logan stepped in.

“He's little for his age, and so I thought, There's no way," Beth said.

But Logan and Beth managed it.

"God gave me natural strength to roll Tom over," Logan said, shrugging.

Beth got her hands ready and attempted chest compressions first — but something stopped her cold.

"This is my husband of 45 years, right? I'm used to feeling resistance there, and there wasn't. And so that really freaked me out and I just threw my hands up in the air, and I said, I can't do this."

That's when Logan spoke up.

"He says, I can, 'Miss Beth. I know CPR,'" Beth remembered.

He was nine years old. He had watched one video. The day before.

Logan performed CPR on Tom for nearly five minutes while Beth stood at the back of the room, crying out and pleading for her husband's life.

Tom was turning blue. Then they couldn't feel a pulse.

"I realized I'm going to be a widow. I am a widow now," Beth remembered thinking through tears. "And I'm going to have to learn how to rely on God myself without him."

Logan was crying too.

"Because of my worriedness that he wasn't going to survive," he said.

But he kept going.

After six continuous minutes of CPR, the church's safety team used an AED on site to shock Tom's heart. When Beth heard the machine say "shock not advised," she raised her hands.

"I just started praising the Lord, because I was like, 'Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.' He's got a heartbeat. He's alive again."

Tom woke up in the hospital three and a half days later with no brain damage. Doctors later found that all of his major arteries to his heart were 90 to 99% blocked — and he had been completely asymptomatic. He had no idea.

When Logan walked through his hospital room door, Tom knew exactly what he wanted to say.

"I said, 'there's my hero' as he's walking through my room door. I was wondering what I was gonna say to him. And I thought — I'm just gonna say how I feel," he said.

The American Heart Association says 9 years old is the youngest age a person is physically capable of performing successful CPR. 

Jason Kane, Development Director of School Engagement with the American Heart Association, said stories like Logan's are extraordinarily rare.

"We talk to a lot of students about it and rarely do we hear about them having used CPR — especially the day after they watch the videos," Kane said. "He literally had just learned CPR the day before he used it."

As for how it all lined up — the right week, the right church, the right kid, the right age, with a video watched the night before — Beth has stopped trying to explain it away.

"Not the week we normally serve. Logan just learned CPR. An AED on site. There's too many variables for it to be a coincidence. It was God for sure."

Tom agrees. "Definitely gave me another second chance for sure."

Logan's mom, Jessica, sees the same thing.

"All of this story, I see God's work in it," she said. "This is a moment he will not forget."

Logan was recognized at a school assembly at Martin High School, where Brandon Elementary students packed the auditorium to watch him receive an award. He walked up to a standing ovation — wearing his cape.

"It's very, very special," Logan said, holding his award. "I am really, really honored."

Ask Logan what made him act that day, and he doesn't hesitate.

"The Holy Spirit."

And ask him who deserves the praise — he won't take it.

"I wouldn't take all the credit for myself. I would give most of it to God."

If life were a movie, it seems the author of this script chose the right hero.
