An amazing story

Hello yal, a couple of days ago I was reading a true story in my Lit. book and it was amazing. It was about newly married couple and they set out to be missionaries in Japan. Well they get there and they are captured by the Jappanese ( they got there when war broke out.) So the couple is seperated and they take the wife to a prison camp. She's there for about two years and about the first year she was there she was one day looking out the window when she saw a woman walk over to a tree and someone gave her some banannas. And Darlene Diebler ( that was this girls name) asked God if she could just have one bananna. Later on in the story, she gets news that her husband had died and she is supposed to bow down to an important Jappanese officer and all of the prisoners are supposed to make a perfect 90 degree angle bow and if they don't bow they whip them on the back. As the story goes on she somehow knows the officer and he tries to make them let her go but they can't cause she's a P.O.W. And when the officer leaves she remembers that she didn't bow. So she's thinking " Lord why didn't you help me remember to bow!". She hears the soldier coming and she thinks he is going to beat her, the solder walks in and he drops in front of her 92 banannas. When I read this story I was thinking Here's this woman who's lost her husband and she was probably going to die because of lack of food and she asks for just one bananna and the Lord provided 92 banannas. I was thinking about how much faith do I have in God? The name of this story is called " Evidence not Seen." I hope you guys liked the story ( sorry it was soooo long) and I'll talk to you guys later.
In Christ,
zac

yep! It is so cool to read and hear stories like that where God blessed their faithfulness by multiplying abundantly what they had asked for! Thanks for sharing!
