“My name is Allan. I have been a taxi driver for many years, and have carried a lot of criminals in my car without knowing it.
Just last year, I gave my life to Christ after my friend introduced me to their church to study together the chronological Bible stories. Going through the 68 lessons helped me to understand the Bible and to know God. I decided to keep the booklets in my taxi so that I could revise them as I waited for customers.
One day, while I was reading about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, two men came and asked me to take them to a place to which they would direct me. I just dropped my book on the seat and drove off.
While on the road, I noticed that one of the guys had a bag, but had picked up the booklet and was reading it. After a few kilometers, we took a turn onto a private road.
It was a quiet road, and there was no one else on the road. Immediately, the one who was not reading the booklet drew a gun, and told me to stop. I was terrified as I then knew that they were bandits.
He directed me to a dark place and ordered me to give him all of the money I had. At that moment, the one who was reading my booklet called out to him, and told him to let me go as I was a Christian.
When they asked me if the car was mine, I told them that I was only a driver, and that the car belonged to someone else. At this point, the one who was reading the booklet told me that they were on the run, and that if I could take them to where they could hide, they would not harm me nor take the car. They asked me to drive them to the next town which I had no problem doing.
Arriving at the next town, the one who was reading the booklet then asked me to give him the booklet so that he could learn more about God. Out of total fear, I gave him all of the 68 booklets. They then walked away.
I thank God that the booklets saved me. I pray that God will use these booklets to save these two bandits. These booklets saved my life.”
