And they went to murder him and his family. And they came and surrounded his house. And so him and his family got in there and they, what can we do? We can pray, that's all we can do.

Well, the leader of that mob later became a Christian.

And he said, well, we couldn't do it with all those men you had guarding the house. He said, what are you talking about? I didn't have any men guarding the house. He said, no, we saw them.

There were these men, they had swords that were drawn and they surrounded your house. And we figured there's no way we can go in and attack these people in light of these guards around the house. Well, who are they? They were angels. And God had sent angels to protect them.

And we didn't have seat belts back then. And he opened the door and he fell out of the car going like 70 miles an hour. And they thought, my gosh, our son's been killed.
