Thank God for a church that pointed them away from themselves to the Lord Jesus! This brother also shared with me another precious testimony of how the Lord had protected them from the tragic terrorist attacks that took place in Paris:

To celebrate our anniversary on November 10, I wanted to do something very special. My wife enjoys cooking and baking, and loves French cuisine. We had been talking about traveling to Europe and I thought this would be a good time for us to travel to Paris for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. I had talked to a travel agent and set up a trip leaving on the Wednesday and returning on the Sunday of that week. I had planned on spending our time around Paris with a day in the countryside.

However, I did not calendar Pastor Prince’s event in Dallas, as I had forgotten that it was taking place during the same weekend. Because I was trying to keep the trip a secret, my wife didn’t know to remind me either! But for some reason, I told her my plan three weeks early, which ordinarily, I would not have done. She quickly pointed out my oversight and I rescheduled the trip for springtime so that we could attend Pastor Prince’s event instead. I remember how I was disappointed at that time about not getting to go on the trip.

We now know that the terrorist attack in Paris started on the afternoon of the Friday I’d planned for us to be there. We saw the entire horrific ordeal unfold on the news. Had we gone to Paris as I had originally planned, we would have been there during the attack.

Pastor Prince had been preaching on divine protection quite a bit, especially over the year before. We both felt that we had experienced God’s “right place, right time” protection.

We had been hearing from Pastor Prince not to take our protection for granted, and had started sharing with our boys about how we are protected by our Father. We had begun praying with them to thank the Lord for His protection over our lives.

Ultimately, we believe it was grace, perhaps even in the form of the Grace Revolution Tour, which kept us out of harm’s way. I’m not sure how close we would have been to the horrible terror acts had we gone on the trip, but I do know that God’s grace kept us thousands of miles away. We were protected, enjoying that time with our family, singing praises to God with the church’s worship team, and learning more about grace from Pastor Prince in Dallas!
