In 1967, a
young girl was converted to the Lord. She became a very devout Christian and
led many people to the Lord. She warned the lukewarm Christians with these
words: ‘You can’t trifle with God!’ |

However,
her first love faded away, and her zeal waned. She eventually became involved
in the sins of the world again. She prostituted herself and lived an unhappy
life. She did not show up at any worship service for nine years. |

In the
month of March, 1976, she came to Siza Bantu and she attended a worship service
which was held in a garage. A strong storm broke. The girl was in the middle

fell to the ground unconscious. Only that girl was struck. They took her to
the hospital. After several hours she recovered consciousness, but she was
not able to speak. |

After a
couple of hours, she began to speak again little by little. She sent for a
pastor and she said to him: ‘All this happened because of my fault. As Paul

Erlo as well’. |
|
Erlo
prayed with her, and the palsy disappeared. Then she said: ‘Now I must go to
ask my mother and many other people to forgive me’ |
