The time was 8:45 A.M. Our driver, Donnie, had just picked us up and rushed us off to the loading dock where the local Greenock ferry takes its customers to and fro. Our destination; Dunoon Grammar school in Dunoon Scotland. There we would conduct a series of religious education classes for the students. From the moment we stepped off the boat and walked into the school we were excited. We had no way of knowing what we had actually planned would work.
The first class, second class, and third class went well. The students loved the singing and the testimonies seemed to be hitting home. It is amazing to see what God will do with a yielded vessel. It’s like what Paul wrote, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:20).
The highlight of the day came at the very end of the day with the last class getting ready to leave. Our youth music team leader ended the class with a testimony about how God had given him peace through his storm. He expressed his gratitude for God’s love in spite of his present physical condition. We then saw a little hand pop up. She was a petite little girl, just shy of becoming a teenager and you could tell she had something to say. “I used to not be able to sleep a couple of months ago, she said.” I would toss and turn but could never get any sleep. One day I prayed and asked God to give me some sleep, and you know what, I slept.” With a smile on our faces we left to get back on the ferry to make it to the nightly meeting. Mission accomplished!
