Description

Do you know God's leading and protection in your life? What if God decided to take most of your worldly possessions from you and yet somehow spare your physical life? Would you still rejoice in Him? What means the most to you in this world? People? Things? Vacations? Lot's to think about. Today we talk with our friend in California with whom we have worked in the broadcasting calling. This man was spared by God in the 2018 Paradise California, "Camp Fire." Over 150,000 acres caught fire and did so, very quickly. People got jammed up trying to escape. Some poor folks were later found in their cars, having burned to death - hands still on their steering wheels. About 52,000 people had to evacuate and about 85 people died. Evacuation plans did not work because the fire spread so very quickly. This Paradise fire was one of the deadliest wildfires in US history in the past 100 years. Our guest describes the calm that the Lord gave him. The Lord guided him what to do. He rejoices that he was able to escape with his precious Bible, and some critical audio on a single external hard drive. And a flashlight, and a little water in his backpack. Paradise had few roads leading out of town. The smoke conditions were terrible. Our guest lost his home and all his possessions. During the escape, he was led to abandon his vehicle and walk to a place of safety - a large parking lot that the fire consumed trees could not reach. When the fire was over it had consumed 18,000 buildings. And yet, that is not the main point. The main point is that God was at work through this disaster. People were open to having or guest pray for them. The lesson for us is to trust God and do His will. Participants: Ken Boone, Dan Elmendorf
