God sends the right person to help - South Africa

South Africa | OM International

Claudia Siegenthaler (of Switzerland) attended the GO-Conference in Mosbach (in Germany) two years ago, and although she had served on an OM ship from 1997 to 1999, she was no longer an OMer. "I wanted to visit a friend who was joining OM," remembers Claudia. "While at the conference, I happened to hear a person talk about OM's training in South Africa. I felt drawn to her, and after the session, I went to the front to speak to her."

"Are you a single?" asked the speaker, much to Claudia's surprise.

"A single? Why, yes!" responded Claudia, and she went on to learn that the speaker had prayed that God would send singles to OM South Africa's training base to help as coaches. God had told her not to look for the person herself, but that He would send her the right person. He had answered her prayer! Claudia will be joining the OM South Africa training staff as a coach at the end of March 2010.
