you. We certainly are glad that you have come, but I am sorry to have to
tell you that our group is split into two congregations." I quickly reached
to take my suitcase out of his hand, and said to him, "I'm going right back

"the Lord knows it all and He also knows what messages to give me from time

them to provide an evangelist who should preach in the Scandinavian
