A Man in the

             One Sabbath day as I was doing visitation, a strange but very encouraging thing happened to me.  Early in the morning I was riding the motorcycle that Mission Projects International donated to us.  My family was not with me.  They were worshiping at the Springside Church.  I had been asked to visit the Kahoponan  Church.  As I traveled there I had the opportunity to experience the fulfillment of the promise, “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”  

   Before reaching the church in Kahoponan the area of “Deep Cut” was the first area to pass through.  As I approached, I saw people running to find safety because harmful bees were swarming around the place for someone had destroyed their hive.  I thought I should slow down or stop for the bees, but I could not because I was so overtaken by the fear of these bees.  I ran straight into that mass of swarming bees.  I remember praying for the Lord to open heaven and send some angels to protect me.  As soon as I hit the bees, I stopped.  All the people turned to see what was going to happen to me.  They became amazed at what they saw, and so did I.  I was covered with bees.  They were ALL over me.  They were inside my Sabbath clothing.  They were crawling through my hair. They were everywhere, but not one bee stung me.  I carefully got back on the bike and continued to my appointment in Kahoponan.  There the church members joined with me in the worshiping the Creator and Redeemer that never fails His promises.  “And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”  I had felt the protection of the unfallen angels.  Praise the Lord.
