About a year and a half ago, in a class to prepare candidates for baptism in the Creteil church in France, AGWM personnel, David Porter and another pastor prayed for these candidates. Suddenly something unusual happened. One of the ladies fell to the floor. As she lay there, suddenly her eyes opened wide and she looked like a zombie. She said, "I told you I wouldn't go out easily." David comments, “I was a bit surprised. I found out later that some of her family in Africa was into witchcraft. So we prayed for her. Another brother and I counseled with her a few days later and I wondered how the story would turn out.” David continues, “I lost sight of her for a while. We're often gone on week-ends preaching in churches all around France and there are so many new people in the Creteil church that people often blur together. It was hard to forget what happened, though.

“The other day, a young lady asked for counseling about a decision she had made. She was motivated and I learned that she had stood firm for the Lord during some hard times recently. Her ‘boyfriend’, the father of her children, couldn't stand the fact that she had taken a position for Jesus and he left her. But, she was radiant with the joy of the Lord. I admired her love and zeal.

“As the conversation unfolded, though, I realized who she was--the young woman who had fallen in the baptism class! From disoriented and unsure, she had become a radiant Christian willing to suffer for the Lord.

“Sometimes you really glad you obeyed the Lord because you get to see Him do some smile-provoking things.”
