Angel at the Train Station
I would like to share my angel story with you.
A Mission Trip to Bulgaria
Around 1994, I went to Bulgaria on a mission trip. We flew into Sofia and planned to catch a train to Russia. However, while we were in the train station, we could not find anyone who spoke English.
We asked employees at the station, military personnel, priests, nuns, and anyone else we could find. Still, no one seemed able to help us. Since it was getting close to the time our train was supposed to leave, a friend and I stood in front of the departure board and began to pray.
At that point, it felt like either God was going to teach us how to read Bulgarian, or the board was going to turn into English.
An Unexpected Helper
While we were praying, a man walked up to us and said he spoke English. We explained our situation, and he kindly said he would walk us out to the train and show us where to get on.
Then, we followed him out to the train. He found the conductor, explained where we were going, and asked him to make sure we arrived at the right town.
Gone Without a Trace
When we turned around to thank the man, he was gone.
We were standing on the long platform where the train pulls up to load passengers. There was no way he could have walked away in the short time it took us to turn from the conductor back toward him.
Therefore, I believe the Lord sent an angel to help us get on our way and continue the work He had called us to do.
