SID: In fact, another quote, “They evangelized more people in developing nations than anyone else in history.” And it was because it was pre-internet, pre-those times, but Daisy Osborn, from what I understand, she was the instigator on a lot of things that happened. But when they share their story of these Miracles, and how they got from failure to being at that level, which is the highest level. I understand, more people will have Miracles when they share that than anything else they do. Is that true, LaDonna?
LADONNA: It is true. Isn’t it amazing, and to me their story and what you just described is such an encouragement to people. People who have an idea about what religion is, and about religious people, and how difficult it must be to do anything great, in a religious or Spiritual realm. My folks were such simple people, farmers, very little education, but the great thing that they had was absolute; ‘Faith in God’ and ‘In His Word’. That if Jesus said something, He meant it, and they could depend on it. And that kind of ‘Child-Like’ Faith catapulted them. God was able to use them. They never took credit for themselves, never boasted of any particular gift, they never even boasted of a particular calling. They just, they had experiences in their life that drove them. As you mentioned that failure that they experienced, things that drove them to find God’s answer. How do we really help people; people that are sincere, they’re searching. Maybe they have a religion, and the devout Muslim, or Hindu, or Buddhist, whatever. Maybe they have no idea of if there is a God? How do we reach them? If God is true, if Jesus really is the One who has the hope, and the solution, for every human problem. How do we bring them into that truth? And into a relationship with this wonderful God?
SID: Well let me kind of go a little bit historical, but just brief. I’m going to streamline it.
LADONNA: Okay.
SID: In ’45, your parents their dream was to go to India—
LADONNA: Uh-huh.
SID: And reach those that had never heard the Gospel
LADONNA: Uh-huh. That’s right.
SID: But, they were hugely unsuccessful. They didn’t realize what they were going to bump into. They were trying God’s plan b-c-d-e-f; they didn’t know God’s plan A for reaching the unreached people. And so they came back, they started Pastoring, and they’re were searching for answers as you said. But then in they went to a Charles Price meeting, but there was a Reverend Hammond who replaced him at the last minute, and she talked about having a vision with Jesus. And then in around ‘47 or ’48, your dad had a vision of Jesus; tell me.
LADONNA: That was right. That’s right. That happened the very morning after that they heard Hattie Hammond preach at that conference. And her title was, “If You Ever See Jesus, You’ll Never Be The Same.”
SID: I would agree with that. [laughs]
LADONNA: [laughs] They were just so broken after what they had seen in India and felt so helpless to do anything. And after Jesus appeared to my father, everything changed. Sid, the way my mother described it, apparently Jesus appeared to him about 6 in the morning. But he didn’t come out of the bedroom until in the afternoon. She got up, she took good care of the children, my brother and me. And when he came out of the bedroom, she said, “I looked at him, and I knew I had a new husband.
SID: Mm-hmm
LADONNA: And he said to her, “Daisy, I’m a changed man. I’m no longer a Denominational man, I’m a Jesus man.
