This story reminds me on one my Dad told many years ago. Also in the ministry,
he was discouraged and thinking of quitting when a stranger appeared alongside
him and gave him a word from the Lord, then disappeared. Was the stranger an
angel? I believe he was. The following story reinforces my faith that God send
angels with special messages to his servants on earth.
Ministering Angel
by Barry McNeil
It was my first trip to a third world country, a very large culture shock for
me. My colleagues and I had gone to Indonesia to visit the Lawang Bible College,
LBTC, in Lawang, near Suraybaya, on the Indonesian Island of Java. After about
a week, I decided to cut my month-long trip short, as I was having trouble with
the Indonesian culture. I was actually getting rather stressed out, mainly due
language problems, sanitation, diarrhea, etc.
I left for Suraybaya Airport, and was getting quite worried, as none of the
planes were on schedule. I was quite concerned about my connecting flight to
Australia. If I missed it I would have to stay an extra two days in Jakarta
- not a very nice place! To add to the stress, no one at Suraybaya could speak
much English.
Suddenly a very well dressed, giant of a man came and sat down right next to
me. I shook his hand and it was like shaking the hand of a newborn baby; his
hand was so soft and gentle. He had a well-worn briefcase with stickers of all
the Bible colleges and churches in the region. I asked him if he knew pastor
Dato, Pastor OM Ben, and a few others. He knew them all!
Then in perfect English and of few words, he stated that I would arrive in
Jakarta with an hour to spare and that I would catch my flight home okay. This
blew me out!
Then time came for boarding the DC10 airplane. I watched him walk up the stairs
onto the aircraft. Then I boarded also. During the flight I made an effort to
find him to thank him. However, he wasn't onboard. And when I deplaned in Jakarta,
he didn't get off! God had sent him to minister to me, settle me down.
This man looked like an ordinary man, gentle, loving and caring. What an incredible
experience. God does indeed truly send his angels to minister to us, the heirs
of salvation,

time than normal solar lights. Solar Lights are the easiest way to light
and accent your yard, garden, walkways and steps. NO WIRES, NO CABLES,

Our solar landscaping lights are very easy to install. Usually it is just
a matter of opening the box and placing the fixture in the garden or chosen
location. No skills and tools are required. Operating instructions come
with every product. Often a fixture is fully charged and ready for use
straight out of the box. However sometimes the batteries may be discharged
or low and 1 or 2 days of full sunshine is necessary before normal use.
Our solar lights turn on automatically at dusk and operate throughout
the hours of darkness. Each light has a small photocell device built-in
to the fixture. This component knows when the light level is low and switches
the light on. 14" x 15" x 24"
