TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

As soon as the disruptions began, the Down syndrome youth
climbed the stairs up to the stage, elbowed his way through
the crowd surrounding Walter, and wrapped his arms around
Walter in a protective embrace. No one dared assault him with
this child blocking the way. Night after night, the young man
was there. Consistently the same seat remained empty each
night until he came. Night after night, he came up to Walter
and shielded him from harm.
Walter wondered about his young protector. Each night he
arrived alone. He must live very nearby, Walter thought, for
him to come unescorted so regularly. Maybe he was part of
the establishment. Near the end of the series, the presentations
were moved to a church across the city. Walter felt sure he’d
never see the young man again. How could a youth with such
limited abilities navigate the large city on his own via public
transportation? It would be impossible.
To Walter’s surprise, on the last night of presentations at the
new location the young man with Down syndrome appeared
again, unescorted, making his way to the front of the church

to sit down in an empty seat. Afterward, when everyone
had gone out to enjoy fellowship and refreshments, Walter
found himself alone with the young man. As Walter put
away the slides he’d used that evening, the young man
came up to him and wrapped his arms around him, just as
he’d done when the menacing crowds were threatening
to assault him in the Massey Theatre.
Walter stopped what he was doing. He held the young
man at arm’s length and asked him, “Are you human or
are you an angel?” Looking up, the youth pointed toward
heaven. Then he turned and walked away.
Amazing Discoveries, the ministry that developed from
the Goubej family’s partnership with Walter Veith, is now
celebrating its twentieth year. The growth of the ministry is
a testament to God’s continued protection and guidance.
Watch for more of the Amazing Discoveries story in
future issues.
