What could God do with your life if you were absolutely, 100% surrendered to Him? If you ever wonder if God still performs miracles today, this incredibly gripping, true story from John Barnett’s own life will leave you speechless. In 1978, a young John Barnett agreed to a highly dangerous mission: driving a van and trailer across Europe to smuggle 6,000 Arabic Bibles into the heart of an Islamic nation.
This session is a masterclass on the breathtaking divine appointments that happen when a believer risks everything for the Gospel. Here is why you cannot miss watching this thrilling true story:
1. THE 6,000 LETTERS & THE CALL TO SURRENDER (Matthew 6:33)
Summary: The lesson opens with a piercing question: Do you renew your surrender to God every single day, seeking His kingdom first? John illustrates what this looks like by sharing how a Christian man in Morocco prayed for ten years for the Gospel to reach the Arab nations. In response to a radio broadcast, 6,000 people wrote letters seeking Christ, prompting an underground operation to hand-deliver personalized Bibles to them.
2. THE NOON WHISTLE BORDER MIRACLE
Summary: Arriving at the Moroccan border with a massive trailer holding 60 grocery bags full of Bibles, John watched in horror as guards spent an hour completely dismantling every single car in front of him looking for smugglers. But right as the guard put his knee against John’s door to begin the search, the clock struck noon, the shift-change whistle blew, and the exhausted new guard simply waved their massive van through without a single inspection.
3. THE BLIND DRIVE THROUGH THE SANDSTORM
Summary: How does God protect those who are surrendered to Him? While driving blindly through a terrifying Moroccan sandstorm, John was forced to pull over and sleep. When the sun came up, he realized God had safely steered him off the road and right down the beach, stopping just short of the Atlantic Ocean.
4. THE CALL TO PRAYER APPOINTMENT
Summary: Because of extreme danger, John was never given the name or address of his contact in the ancient, walled city of Fez. Yet, guided blindly by the other passengers, John unknowingly parked the van directly in front of the city’s largest mosque. Exactly as the loud Islamic call to prayer flooded the streets with distracted people, the Moroccan believer—who had been praying at his window for this exact moment—looked out and received the 6,000 Bibles without anyone noticing.
THE BOTTOM LINE: God’s sovereign timing is absolutely flawless. This class will challenge you to evaluate your own walk with Christ. That Moroccan believer was willing to seek first the kingdom of God even at the risk of his own life and freedom. When you completely surrender your life to Jesus, you step into a story far greater than yourself.
