"Arthur was excited when I told him that I sensed God calling me to ministry in Eastern Europe. 'If that's what God is telling you to do,' he said, 'you'd better do it. . . .'

Murray Bradfield and I often stayed up until the wee hours praying that God would show us distinctly what He wanted me to do. One morning at three o'clock we were on our knees in my little office when we felt impressed that God wanted us to walk across Germany for Him. . . .

As we got down to details, we saw that God would have to help us overcome three major obstacles. First, we needed twenty-five hundred dollars for transportation alone; second, we knew no one in Germany, third, though Murray had taken a year of German in college, neither of us could speak the language. My dream was to hold a prayer and fasting vigil and rallies in Berlin to call all of Europe back to God. With neither contacts nor an interpreter, prospects looked dim.

We felt led to go in December of 1971, which didn't give us much time. 'Lord,' we prayed. 'we have to know. If you want us to go, we should be getting our passports and reserving our flights. We need twenty-five hundred dollars.'

That very day a man came to the house and identified himself as a school teacher. He said he had saved money for years, but that morning as he prayed, God had touched his heart, and he felt led to come and give us a check. He had no idea what our financial need was, but God did. The man handed us a check for twenty-five hundred dollars, and what a blessed time we had sharing with him how we had prayed for that amount.

We left for Germany on November 28, 1971, and one of the great surprises of my life came at the Frankfurt airport as we waited for a flight to Munich.

'Sammy Tippit? Sammy Tippit?' The accent was German, but I knew no one in Frankfurt. 'Sammy Tippit?' I heard again. I was sure that's what the stranger was saying. He was a well-dressed man in his late twenties, and he was smiling at me. 'Are you Sammy Tippet?'

'Well, yes, I am.' I said, rattled.

'My name is Volkhard Spitzer.'

I was still nearly speechless as I shook his hand.

'I've heard of you and read about your trouble,' he said. 'Our church in Berlin has been praying for you since your arrest.'

'How did you know me?' I finally managed to ask.

'You looked American, and when the girl [Tex] said 'Sammy' in an American accent, I wondered if you could be Sammy Tippit.' I told him we had been praying for a contact in Berlin. 'Don't worry about that,' he said. 'I'll arrange a rally for you and we'll have several thousand there.' "

" The complication of our modern world proves the truth of the creed more perfectly than any of the plain problems of the ages of faith. It was in Notting Hill and Battersea that I began to see that Christianity was true. This is why the faith has that elaboration of doctrines and details which so much distresses those who admire Christianity without believing in it. When once one believes in a creed, one is proud of its complexity, as scientists are proud of the complexity of science. It shows how rich it is in discoveries. If it is right at all, it is a compliment to say that it's elaborately right. A stick might fit a hole or a stone a hollow by accident. But a key and a lock are both complex. And if a key fits a lock, you know it is the right key." G.K. Chesterton, p.87, Orthodoxy, The Classic Account of a Remarkable Christian Experience
