While this story happened a number of years ago it still
applies to today with the appalling increase in the number of Christians being
killed by Muslims the world over. If you haven’t heard about this world crisis
you might ask yourself why that is so?

A missionary on furlough told this true story
while visiting his home church in Michigan.
"While serving at a small field hospital in
Africa, every two weeks I traveled by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby
city for supplies. This was a journey of two days and required camping
overnight at the halfway point.
On one of these journeys, I arrived in the city
where I planned to collect money from a bank, purchase medicine, and supplies,
and then begin my two-day journey back to the field hospital.
Upon arrival in the city, I observed two men
fighting, one of whom had been seriously injured. I treated him for his
injuries and at the same time talked to him about the Lord.
I then traveled two days, camping overnight, and
arrived home without incident.
Two weeks later I repeated my journey. Upon
arriving in the city, I was approached by the young man I had treated. He told
me that he had known I carried money and medicines. He said, 'Some friends and
I followed you into the jungle, knowing you would camp overnight. We planned to
kill you and take your money and drugs. But just as we were about to move into
your camp, we saw that you were surrounded by 26 armed-guards.
At this, I laughed and said that I was certainly
all alone in that jungle campsite.
The young man pressed the point, however, and
said, 'No, sir, I was not the only person to see the guards, my friends also
saw them, and we all counted them. It was because of those guards that we were
afraid and left you alone.'
At this point in the sermon, one of the men in the
congregation jumped to his feet and interrupted the missionary and asked if he
could tell him the exact day this happened.
The missionary told the congregation the date, and
the man who interrupted told him this story:
"On the night of your incident in Africa, it
was morning here and I was preparing to go play golf. I was about to putt when
I felt the urge to pray for you. In fact, the urging of the Lord was so strong
I called men in this church to meet with me here in the sanctuary to pray for
you. Would all of those men who met with me on that day stand up?"
The men who had met together to pray that day
stood up. The missionary wasn't concerned with who they were, he was too busy
counting how many men he saw.
There were 26.

Do you have faith in God?
