The Classroom Wednesday, August 08, 2007

Classrooms aren’t usually the most welcoming place to a missionary. Imagine what your principal or dean would say if a missionary came to your school and asked if he could introduce God’s messenger to the students. The answer would probably be something like, "No thank you. We are an educational institute that stands against the notion of any type of 'great Creator,' or anything else we cannot explain with our scientific methods. Since the advent of higher education, we have been working through the furtherance of scientific knowledge to eradicate this opinion that there is some 'Higher Power.' And take your books with you when you leave."

Okay, it might not be that bad, but you can rest assured that the missionary would not be given the opportunity to testify about the Lord. But, by God’s never-failing Grace, this was not the case a few weeks ago in the African Country of Namibia. Two college classes made the right decision and let Brother Keith Herne, VGR Office Manager in Cape Town South Africa, talk to the students about Brother Branham.

The first class of 28 students listened intently as Brother Keith talked about modern-day miracles and a prophet of God. He then set out books and tracts which were all quickly taken after the class. The next class was simply incredible. Thirty-five students and several teachers packed the little classroom expecting to hear something they never heard before. They received more than they ever expected. Brother Keith said, "This was a WOW session!" There was even an altar call, and every person present, even the teachers, raised their hands in praise and worship of the Lord Jesus! And all this happened in a college classroom!

The teachers pleaded with Brother Keith to stay and take the entire next day speaking to the students about Brother Branham. He had to leave, but gave them the address of the local VGR library to so they can hear with their own ears, the prophet he was speaking of. On the road back home, Brother Keith received texts of the many testimonies that followed his visit. He summed it up perfectly, "WOW!"
