The Lord made it very clear to me that I should go to Europe again. I
expected to stay four years. When it was understood that I was to sail for
Europe, a number of people in a certain congregation requested me to stop
over as they wanted to send greetings, so I did, thinking also that they
might give me a little offering to help me on the way, but for some reason
they failed to do so.
The war broke out in Europe. I was able only to visit the churches, and
late in the fall of the same year I was ordered to leave these countries.
After being home for some time, I met the wife of a minister and she asked,
"Where have you been, Bro. Susag? We haven't seen you nor heard of you for
so long." I told her I had been to Europe. "Why, no," she explained, "you
were in such and such a congregation," (naming a place where I had stopped
to receive greetings to carry to Europe). Then she said, "They said that
you had not gotten any further than New York, as you did not have the money
to go any farther." Then I told her, "The Lord made it very clear to me to
go, so I went."
After leaving this place for New York I was sitting on the train reading my
Bible when a train man came along and said, "Are you reading the good
book?" After answering yes, he asked if I was a minister. I answered,
"yes," and he asked where I was going. I told him I was on my way to
Europe. "Do you have the finances supplied?" he asked. I told him I
traveled by faith. "To what church do you belong?" he asked. I told him,
the Church of God. So he explained, "My pastor is Brother ----; What is
your name?" When I told him, he said, "Why, I have heard of you." As he
left he said, "Pardon me, I will see you again before we come to our
divisional point." Later on he came and handed me a sum of money, so my
needs were nicely cared for.
On hearing of my experience, the sister exclaimed, "Why! God's promise, 'My
God shall supply all your needs,' was fulfilled at that time."
