At the same time, in the same town, a pastor from a large denomination was
fighting his doubts about God's existence. Finally, in despair, he opened his
phonebook under the heading of churches and drew his finger hazardly down the
list, stopping on a particular church. It so happened that this was Pastor
Trenholm's church. The other pastor cried out loud: "God, if you do exist, send
this pastor to my door within 30 minutes!" (I do not recommend this method, by
the way!)
Meanwhile, Pastor Trenholm felt an urgent need to leave the radio station and
drive the streets of Charlottetown. Guess where he ended up? You got it. Right
at the church of the doubting pastor. Exactly 29 minutes after the pastor had
uttered his prayer, Pastor Trenholm knocked on his door. When he opened the
door, Pastor Trenholm said, "I have no idea why I'm here, but God told me to
come here. Is there anything I can do for you?"
The doubting pastor started to cry, and Pastor Trenholm was able to witness to
him. He became born again was baptized by God's Spirit that same day!
