same string. The three of us moved in unison, stretching out ourhands full of money to this sister.Taking the money out of our hands, she began to weep. “OhBrothers, you don’t know what this means to me. Last night Ihad visitors who came over the hills. I had two chicken carcasses,and the visitors brought some vegetables. I made stew and beansand fed all the orphans and the visitors. Last night, when the lastvisitor had gone, I went to my bedroom and knelt down. I cried,‘Lord, I have no more money and hardly any food left. I don’tknow what to do. Have you forgotten us, Lord? Don’t you knowour address, Lord? Lord, if you are listening to me now, send aman in the morning.’ Look what He has done. He has sent threemen!” The tears glistened in her eyes.So we went on our way back to Montego Bay. I was $40 lighter,$40 farther away from going back to England, having only myreturn ticket to Miami.After I arrived in Miami, a brother approached me, “BrotherArthur, will you encourage my faith?”“I certainly will, if I am able.”“Well, Brother Arthur, I believe God told me to do somethingyesterday and I want to prove whether or not it was the Lordwho told me to do it. You are the only man who can answer thisquestion. Tell me, do you have your return ticket back home toLondon?”I said, “No, Brother, I don’t.”“Praise God!” he rejoiced. “You’ve encouraged my faith. I believeGod told me yesterday to buy you a return ticket back toLondon via New York. There is your ticket.” So, I received a ticketthat encouraged my faith as well as my brother’s faith.As I prayed for her, the life of God flowed throughme and touched her and we were both healed.In February, I was invited to minister in Michigan, but I was illwith something I’m sure was very contagious. It may have appearedfoolish for me to travel in that condition, but I decidedGod wanted me to go.163
