God is forever astounding me.  Have you ever noticed that He never does things the same way twice?  He's the God of endless variety.  He continually takes my breath away.  

They were traveling up from Daoula, going through Yaounde, on their way to Nkolinga for an evangelistic campaign.  They do this about once a month.  Then on their way home, they usually spend the night at Shiloh.  We've become friends over the years.  But this time she wasn't feeling well.  By the time they reached Yaounde she told her husband she just couldn't make it.  He pulled the car over and said he would get a taxi to take her to Shiloh.  She could spend two days there sleeping and getting better.  So he jumped out of the car and began flagging down the first taxi that came along.

Meanwhile our dear friend and favorite taxi driver Eric had put in a hard morning.  He had gone home and laid down to take a nap, thinking he was through for the day.  Suddenly the Holy Spirit began speaking to his heart, nudging him off the bed and out the door.  "Get back out there and drive taxi for awhile" He seemed to say.  Having walked with God for many years, he knew his Master's voice and had no trouble obeying.  No sooner did Eric get out to the main road than he saw a man waving his taxi down.  His was the first taxi to come along.

This is where the story gets really amazing.  The man asked him if he could take his wife somewhere between Mvan and Tropicana.  "Sure", he could do that. 

"Had he ever heard of a place called College Yondo?"  

"Of course!" 

As the man was tucking his wife into the taxi he told her "Now when you get to College Yondo, you are going to have to guide him to Shiloh."

Eric said "Shiloh?!"

The man asked if he knew Shiloh.  "Sure!" replied Eric.  

"How do you know Shiloh?  Do you know Guy?"

"Yes, I know Guy.  He's my brother."

"He's my nephew!"

As they drove off towards Shiloh, the wife explained that her husband was a pastor in Daoula.   

You have to understand that not every taxi driver in the city has heard of College Yondo.  Only God could bring along the right person at the right time.
