GOD’S SPOKEN WARNINGS TODAY!
James Thompson was a hopeless, shambling alcoholic in South Africa and decided on one last drink before committing suicide. Sitting alone in the pub, the loaded pistol heavy in his pocket, he looked in the mirror behind the bar at the wreck he had become and heard: “James, you don’t belong here”. This unexpected warning began James’ road to recovery and ultimately the rescue, through his efforts, of hundreds of similar alcoholics.
Daniel Kawata, a prominent and dynamic Christian in Zaire (the Congo), experienced a “huge light in my office and a voice saying ‘Everything you have belongs to you, but you belong to Me. You need to join World Vision. It won’t be easy for you. Zaire will be in great turmoil, but I will be with you’.”
Daniel subsequently became Field Director for World Vision in turbulent Zaire. As promised, God has been with him and his staff throughout the rioting, murder and mayhem. His life has been spared miraculously on a number of occasions.
The memory of that beautiful light in his office and spoken promise gave Daniel the strength to cope. His very effective ministry for God continues.
Similarly, here is an account written out for me by Liz Lewis, a girl who was in Marlborough High School, Zimbabwe, where I taught.
