Lenten Challenge #37: Testify

Today’s challenge is to share our faith with someone, for example, on social media. Seems to me that is what I am doing with this blog.

At Christmas I wrote about my three Christmas miracles. Today I have another miracle to share. Masood has written the auto mechanic’s test several times over the last number of years. It is an extremely difficult test, even if English is your native tongue.

About a year ago an inspector from the Ontario College of Trades came by checking on all the mechanics in the plaza where Delta Car Sales is located. Masood was told he was not to do any mechanical work on cars — he could change tires and such, but because he wasn’t licensed he wasn’t to do more than that. That put more pressure on him again to pass the test. Last fall he got 66%, but needed 70% so failed again.

While I was in California he wrote the test again. I informed the Prayer Chain at Bloomingdale Mennonite Church as well as many other people, asking for prayers that Masood would have a clear head and calm heart going into the exam. When I asked him how it went he was quite despondent, he felt he hadn’t done well, had guessed at too much.

Today he got a call the the inspector from the College of Trades, congratulating him on receiving 90% on the exam! Thanks be to God!
