"BEFoaE you SHOOT YovRsELE, CALL THIS NUMBER"

AT our International Headquarters in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, we have a group of
people yho,are engaged in prayer "A
hours a day, 7 days a week. This is
called the Abundant Life Prayer Group.
Day and night this Group is receiving
requests for prayer from people every
where. The requests arc sent in BY mail
and telegraph, and many come BY long
distance telephone. Calls for help in
prayer have come from as far away as
Oslo, Norway, and from as near as a
Tulsa hospital.
The other day. a member Of our
Abundant Life Prayer Group answered
the telephone. The call wa coming
from a point more than 1000 miles
away. A mans voice said, Il have a
loaded revolver in my hand, and am
ready to take my life" Then, in a last
desperate plea, the man cried, NIan you

end Of the line.

and | just can't go on any longer. Can
you help me:9"
This time, the question was drowned
in convulsive sobs. The Prayer Farmer
lovingly and Prayerfully spoke TO the
man and told him Of the goodness Of
God. As she talked with him and
prayed with him, he suddenly inter-
rupted her, his voice ringing with a
new vibrancc. He told her the light had
suddenly broken through into his heart
as prayer went up TO God in his behalf.
The Sun Of righteousness had dawned
in this mans life with healing in his
wings to restore life and health to this
individual who only moments before
was determined 10 take his own life,
Only when she was sure that the
man had peace in his heart did the
Abundant Life Prayer Partner venture
the question which had been ip her
mind from the beginning Of the con-
versation: "How did you happen to
call the Abundant Life Prayer GrouP?".
she asked.
The man replied, "A lady gave me
your telephone number and said to me,
Before you shoot yourself, call this
number"
This incident Zone Of hundreds thar
have come to our attention) PinPoints
a truth that we should never forget:
There is no distance in prayer. God i
here and God is there. He is with ~
ID he is with you. Nearer than brearb
and faster than thought, he can re-
ID to the cry of every anxious heart
