"O sure!" I agreed. "Now don't leave there. Just stay there," he reiterated. I laughed within myself. How could I go anywhere? I did not have any money. But I did not say this to him. They came and got me and fed me well. We went to the youth rally, and the Lord graciously blessed. Several were saved, and an offering was taken and given to me. I was so happy. Again God had answered prayer and had proven Himself true to the promise He gave me when He called me to do this. It was that He would take care of me. The next morning I phoned my aunt. "Aunt Bertha," I said, "I'm in town. I'd surely like to come out and see you." "Well, come on," she acquiesced, "but on one condition don't you mention that Jesus to me. But come on." I went out to her home and knocked on the door. She answered my knock and invited me in. Then she kissed me as any sweet aunt would. "Now remember," she cautioned me, "not one word about Jesus. Not one word." We sat down to eat supper. She poured a little bit of wine for herself and then poured some for me. I said, "No, Aunt Bertha, I don't drink." "O this won't hurt you." "No, I don't drink, Aunt Bertha." "Why won't you drink?" "Aunt Bertha, if I were to tell you why I don't drink anymore, I'd have to tell you about Jesus." "Never mind, never mind. Don't drink the wine then." Later on she said, "You know, Irene, I rented my apartment today to a priest just like you." I said, "Aunt Bertha, I'm not a priest." "Well, I told him you were. He and his wife and children are moving in tomorrow." "Aunt Bertha, he's not a priest either, or he wouldn't have a wife and children." "Well, if you're not a priest, what are you?"
"I'm a Messianic Jew. I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Saviour and I'm telling it to others." "Well, anyhow," she said, "let me call him up and see if he can come here tomorrow night. Would you like to meet him? Would you like to talk to him? He'd like to talk to you. He's a young preacher boy going to Bible School." "All right," I told her, "I could stay for that." She phoned the young man and he said he would like to come and meet a Jew who believed in Jesus. He came at the time appointed. I sat at one end of the living room; he sat at the other, and my aunt sat on the sofa in the middle of the room. Soon she was nodding. The young man asked all kinds of questions about the Jews and Jesus. He was a very wise young man. He had a purpose behind every question, and I was very happy he was so led of the Lord. All of a sudden my aunt bestirred herself as though she had been asleep. I knew she had not been. She was listening all the time. "Young man," she said, "my niece is very tired. You'd better go now. I wonder if you two would like to talk again tomorrow night." The young man's face lit up. "Sure," he said, "and I know my wife would like to meet her. I'll bring her too tomorrow night." The next night the same thing happened. We spent about two hours in discussion while my aunt conveniently fell asleep. After a little while she wakened and told them they had better leave, that it was getting late and they had better get to bed. After they had gone, she said, "O my feet hurt so bad!" So I sat on the floor, pulled off her shoes and began to rub her swollen feet. She looked at me and said, "Irene, talk to me." "Sure, Aunt Bertha, what do you want me to say?" "Tell me about your Messiah." "But, Aunt Bertha, I promised you I wouldn't. You made me promise not to mention His name if I came." "That's all right," she said. "Go ahead." I told her about Jesus and when I got through, she said, "O Irene, I'd give anything to follow Jesus if He were alive. If He were alive, I'd be His most violent follower."
