PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, AUGUST 10, 1984
God's Miraculous Protection
This week's letter comments reflect God's care and protection of Church
members and others involved with God's Church. They include examples of
personal property being safeguarded, deliverance from disastrous weather
and accidents. We thought you would find the following firsthand accounts
inspiring.
These are trying times and we thank you for praying for us as we
are praying for you.
This brings to mind the tornado which
passed through here not too long ago and how God protected us.
I was sitting on our porch deck when big drops of rain began to
fall. I thought I had better go into the house but didn't shut
the kitchen door. When the tornado struck, I ran to shut the door
because the water was flooding my kitchen and soaking me. A ce
ment block was picked up and hurled toward the door but never
touched it. Instead, it dropped down in front of the door. Half
of the porch cover was torn off and thrown on the bank, where it
took two men to move it. God spared my life through all that and
showed me what a powerful God we have.

Before my fiancee and I started watching your show, we lived our
lives to want more and more material items. We each had a good
job, a new car, plenty of money and a nice apartment. But we both
seemed to have been leaving out the one who blessed us with these
gifts--God.
Then one evening in January 1984, we had a very serious auto ac
cident.
We were hit from behind and our car exploded into
flames. The police and those who saw it said we should have been
killed instantly, especially the two girls, 6 and 8 years old,
who were trapped in the back seat with no way to escape.
We cried and prayed for God's help, when something made me run
toward the car. The car was totally engulfed in flames, but the
fire parted like a pair of drapes opening, which allowed me to
reach the children. We all escaped with only minor injuries.
Since that night we have totally changed and have given our lives
over to God. We now have God as ruler and leader and live by His
commandments and laws.
M.S. (West Warwick, RI)
I know we are all truly blessed by keeping God's commandments.
Though flood waters washed all around my house--in some places
over knee deep--I was safe. The flood only washed out some of my
driveway, which I was able to fix myself. I do thank our merciful
God.

Last year I was hit by a car while walking on the highway. I flew
65 feet down the road, where I was hit again by the same car. The
police said I was not breathing when they got to me, which was al
most immediately, because they had been following the car down
the highway at the time and were about to pull the driver over for
