Brother Chuck Collins often assists the printing department at VGR by volunteering his skills and experience with our Heidelberg press. In his most recent trip to Jeffersonville to help us out with a few printing issues, he shared a wonderful testimony of how the Lord touched his grandchild in a desperate time.

Little Samuel, Brother Chuck's 14 month old grandchild, was at his grandparents’ house with his dad (Brother Earl), while his dad was working on the house. For a moment, his dad lost sight of him. Thinking he went to the front of the house, Brother Earl went looking for his son. He could not find the toddler in the front of the house, so he quickly looked towards a nearby pond, where he saw his son floating face-down in the water.

He pulled the lifeless body out of the water and shook him. The baby’s eyes were wide open and his skin was blue. There was no response. His son was not breathing. He had no medical training and had no idea what to do, so he picked the baby up and ran towards the house.

When he was almost to the house, Brother Earl shouted, “Help me Jesus! Help me Jesus!” The Lord heard the desperate prayer of this young father. The baby immediately began crying and coughing. Within an hour the baby was completely well, playing like a normal toddler.

“My son-in-law called me that evening and apologized, because he was helpless and didn’t know CPR. I told him that I would rather him know Jesus than CPR any day.”

“It was certainly the Hand of God there the entire time. Thank the Lord for His grace! For all who don't believe miracles are still happening like the Bible days and in Brother Branham's time; they need to look around! God bless you!”
