Chapter 23 - Page 332 - Field Of Flowers

   As Jim looked toward the back of the church, he saw four people kneeling together in prayer. Beside them was a camera mounted on a tripod. When they finished praying, they stood up and walked to the altar. A blue aura surrounded their bodies, as well. Jim realized the four people were television news reporters.

   He remembered the vision he'd had on his first journey to Africa, when a messenger of God told him of future events. "Many people will find Jesus," the messenger said, "directly because of the food they receive. Many more will have their eyes opened because of the influence of news media and word of mouth."

   Suddenly Jim heard the humming sound that heralded a vision. Blackness filled the church, as if night had fallen. Not a person could be seen and not a sound could be heard. Jim didn't know if other people shared his vision, or if God had a message for him alone.

   A glow formed around the television equipment, like a spotlight from heaven. Jim heard a click, and heard the film rewinding in the camera. When the film finished rewinding, he heard another click. A television screen appeared in the darkness, floating suspended in air. A blue glow filled the inside of the screen. Jim heard another click and the camera began to project images onto the television screen.

   On the television, a female journalist holding a microphone said, "This is Sharon Simanally, and I'm in Angel Town, Africa." Jim could see the church behind her as she talked. "Everywhere you find people," she continued, "you find news. Here in Angel Town is a story about one man's desire to help the African people."

   The scene behind the reporter changed and a full view of the hospital filled the screen. "Angel Town was built by millionaire and Christian convertee, Jim Brown. Sources inform SORTA News that Jim Brown was sent to Africa by God on a mission to feed the hungry and house the homeless, to care for the sick and clothe the poor." The reporter pointed to the surrounding buildings. "I personally have seen good things in Angel Town."
