Soldiers in the army don’t choose their destiny. Within a few weeks of my coming to know the Lord, my company was sent overseas, we went to North Africa, spent two years in Egypt and Libya, the third year in the Sudan, and I understand in some ways why God took so many of His people in one way or another through the desert, because the desert strips you down to life’s essentials. You’ve got no room or time for luxuries or non-essentials. Survival is your main objective. In the desert I had no opportunity to go to church or listen to preachers. I had to read the Bible for myself. I read it through several times, and I found the Holy Spirit really showed me in essence the meaning of what I was reading.
