Brother Henry, who is one of our graduates in South Sudan, as well as our National Facilitator there, shared the following testimony with Len in January:
"In 2021, I was invited to preach in a state called Yambio, which is in the western equatorial part of South Sudan. It's a bit far from Juba, so the team that wanted me to go there sent the money for booking the flight to their friend in Juba to book it for me. He communicated the dates and time, but yet he used the money, and didn't book at all. The time came, I went to the airport, and the following day the conference and crusade was arranged. When I reached there ready to travel, my name was not in the list of those traveling. I was confused. I wanted to leave immediately, but in my spirit I said, 'No, let me wait.'
People started boarding, and after they had all entered the plane, a man came and greeted me. He asked if I was pastor Henry. I said, 'Yes.' I asked for his name, and he told me he is called Paul. I asked if he was working with South Supreme company, and he said, 'Yes.' Then he held my hand and made me to enter. I had not received even the boarding pass, my name is not on the list, and I didn't pay any money.
We reached our destination, and they started collecting the boarding pass, but I didn't have one. They questioned me how I entered. I told them one person called Paul allowed me in. They checked, tried to call the head office, but they didn't have any worker by the name of Paul. They decided to let me go because I was going for the work of God.
When I was reading about how angels manifest to us, I immediately remembered this [experience], and I believe that must have been an angel of God that came to my rescue, because everybody was calling me, [asking], 'Are you coming [to the crusade]?', I really give God the glory."

END OF TESTIMONY
Praise the Lord for sending His angel to help brother Henry board a plane without a ticket and fly to his destination to preach the gospel in South Sudan. That was truly a miracle.
It reminds me of the angel named Paul that helped our student Catherine in England when she was lost as a youth. You can read about that here. I sent the link to Catherine's testimony to brother Henry and asked him if Paul looked like the artists depiction of Paul shown in that article. He replied that Paul did look like that, except he had darker skin and African hair on his head.
I personally believe it was the same Paul appearing in different forms, and most likely Paul the apostle sent on a mission to help brother Henry get to his destination to preach the gospel. As the Scripture says, "Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?" (Heb 1:14).

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
