From the book, The Hand that Intervenes by William A Spicer
Summarised by Felix Fred
There was a man in the 19th century named Dr. P.A. de Forest. He was the superintendent of Lake Geneva Sanitarium. While a student, he started off not having enough funds to take him through school. He made a vow to God that if He saw him through, he would devote himself to God's service as a medical missionary and the Lord did see him through.
As he laboured as a medical missionary he was not able to support his wife and two children. Things were hard, but God proved faithful. Yet it was so bad that their garments were breaking down so much so that his wife had no shoes to go to church for the coming Sabbath.
That Friday night, he dreamt and was instructed to go meet a Sister. He shared the dream with his wife and decided to act upon it the coming Sunday. He went and his faith was amply rewarded! The Sister's brother had come visiting, and after Bro de Forest shared what he did, being a missionary, this brother gave him a pile of clothes! He went home rejoicing.
