‘Lord,’ Victor had once said, ‘if you want me to marry Sheila,
then make this wart on my finger go down!’ He opened his
eyes. The wart had gone! Victor had these kind of dealings
with God.
Back in 1961, as a young Anglican at Art College, he’d experienced
God’s forgiveness. Then one day he read in Acts
10: ‘For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising
God’ (Acts 10:46). ‘If this is for now, Lord,’ Victor prayed, ‘let
me have it.’ He got it, and immediately felt a strong urge to
live and share with other Christians. But nothing came of it.
Victor plunged into his career and got married.
Now in his early thirties, he dreamed of a yacht and a luxury
home by the sea. He was already a qualified architect, a deacon
in the Baptist Church, Superintendent of the Sunday
school, and President of the Lay Preachers Association in
