LIFE STORY - "I Wanted to Work for Jehovah"/AS TOLD BY DANIEL VAN MARL - WEAVING A THREEFOLD CORD

 It was on a return trip from an isolated area in the forest that we had the experience I related at the outset.  As the boat entered the rapids, it briefly went  underwater but quickly popped to the surface.  Thankfully, we were wearing life jackets and did not fall out of the boat.  But our boat was filled with water. We emptied the contents of our food pots into the river and then used those pots to bail out the boat.

Since we had lost our food, we started fishing as we continued down the river. But we were not catching anything. So we prayed to Jehovah and asked him to give us our food for that day.  Right after we prayed, one of the brothers threw out a fishing line and caught a fish large enough for the five of us to eat that night and be satisfied.
