The Winhoek, Namibia VGR library was established in 2001, and the work in that country has steadily grown since then. Brother Arthur Vass has been the distributor since 2005. The following is his testimony.
After a terrible life of wondering aimlessly in sin with a suicidal mind, God came my way by a dream. I dreamed I walked in a desert, and saw one lonely tree with shade. As I approached, I saw a bag laying underneath the tree and picked it up. As I folded my hand around it, I felt a thorn prick my hand from inside the bag. In the bag was blood, and I thought someone left Aids-infected blood purposely to kill me. Underneath the bag laid a paper signed by Ezekiel. I thought God wanted to kill me for the way I lived, and tried to stay as far as I could from the Bible. The dream scared me so much till my fears drove me to sickness. Finally one Sunday afternoon, I gathered enough courage and began to read the Bible. Later I went to a service of a Pentecostal preacher. He preached the sermon, which today I am sure he copied from Brother Branham, “As The Eagle Stirreth The Nest.” I was delivered from a life of sin. Instead of death, I saw many miracles, like petrol appearing supernaturally in the tank of my car twice when I had need of it. Then I left my work as a policeman in 1996 to be nearer to God. When a brother in the Message, Brother Kenny Kariko, a bosom friend of mine, heard that, he sent me a box full of Message material. He later baptized me in the Orange River and the Message became my life. In April, 2005, I began working for Voice of God Namibia. I was appointed office manager in 2005.
Brother Arthur has loyally served the Bride of Christ for the past four years. He and the assistant manager, Brother Marius, diligently operate the VGR library in Winhoek. They are also actively going into the shantytowns (see the Christmas banner), hospitals, and anywhere the Lord leads them to give others the opportunity to hear the Message of the hour.
Their work, and the work of others like them, has paid off. Today the library serves hundreds of Namibian believers and the numbers continue to grow. In the days to come, we will post a testimony that Brother Arthur sent in with his monthly report. It is about a brother who routinely visits the library and recently overcame a great obstacle the enemy placed in his path.
