And so since we are leading in the that Floyd started, I'd love to really share your story of growing up. I know that happened to you when you were about 16. So can you just like wrap that story in with like an introduction to yourself growing up and how Jesus, you interacted with Jesus?

Sure. Yeah, thank you. Well, what a great place to start. So, this story actually comes right at the end of the book. But I had grown up in a Christian family. My parents had both been quite dramatically converted when I was younger. Neither of them had grown up in Christian families. So, I came to need the Lord as a child and then a teenager and youth with a mission used to have teams that would go out all over Europe and I think the world as well when that would include children and young people so before university age. So when I was 16, it was the Barcelona Olympics and their teams were sort of gathering to do outreach during the Olympics on the street and also help some praise and worship and teaching and then all these youth would be going fanning out over the world and my team was going to Morocco to share the gospel on the streets and through kind of performing arts and stuff. So we had it been a hot long day of ministry and we were staying in a school but this being YWAM there wasn't really enough space for everyone. So our team, the girls were sleeping in the corridor of a school and we had to have our roll mats kind of under desks, you know, I can still really visualise it. And we were having a bit of a chill time before the evening meeting and I fell asleep and in that time of being asleep had a dream, very clear dream, very memorable dream where I saw myself with others that I didn't know in Afghanistan and I knew it was Afghanistan with fighters with Kalashnikovs and giving them Bibles. So I woke up and shared this dream with my friend Abby and we sort of talked about it and she was like, that sounds like it, you know, is probably from God kind of thing. So we go into this meeting, there's, I don't know, two, 3,000 young people, huge tent, you know, lots of worship, and Floyd McClung gets up to preach. And I had read his book, The Father Heart of God, you know, as most people in YWAM had. And he was just sharing and preaching brilliantly as he did. And he just broke off mid-sentence and said, I think there's someone here, God's giving me a word for you. And he's called you to go to Afghanistan, and you're going to take Bibles, and I'm going to pray for you every day until I sense that this has been accomplished. So, I absolutely froze. You know, I'm sort of 16 years old and I'm like with my friends, I'm like, don't move, no one more. So, that obviously was quite, quite a memorable experience. So, scroll forward three years from now, maybe, yeah, three, four years from now. And I'm at university, I'm at Oxford, and there's a real move of the spirit happening in the UK. And we're just, as young people, as students, we're in prayer meetings for eight hours a day on our face before God, trying to do our studies as well, and taking mission trips around the world. And in the midst of that, God really me of that call and so a couple of others that had we'd gone to China on a mission trip, we were on the Great Wall of China and they just said to me I feel we feel God is saying we should try and go this year. So it just so happened that the Taliban had taken power over about three quarters of Afghanistan at this point. And so I started to do a bit of research. How could we get there in one of the university holidays? And basically the news came back, the only people who can get in are journalists. So you can't go, you know, certainly not as a missionary and you can't go as a student. There's no way. So our friend ran the Oxford University student newspaper. We said to him, could we be the Afghanistan correspondence for this newspaper? And he wrote us a piece of paper saying that we were, and that is how we got visas to go. And initially we just planned to go to scope it out and to pray for the land and see what, you know, what open doors might be possible. But the night before we left and we were flying into a neighbouring country and then we were going to cross the land border, the night before we left, I had a dream again, another dream, and very clearly saw us giving Bibles to the Taliban leadership. And so the morning of our flight, we went to this place in London where at that point you could go and get the Bible in every translation it's in. And it was a mission and they would give them away for free. And being students, we had no money. So we've got 40 New Testaments and four copies of the Bible, put them in our rucksacks and went. And it was just the most extraordinary thing. I mean, long story short, we crossed the land border. We got through eight checkpoints where our bag was checked at the first one. They felt inside our bags, which were just filled with books and the Taliban did not see the Bibles. And then we got to the city and the city we got to just so happened that the top brass, the top leadership of the Taliban were staying in that city because the BBC had come into town and were interviewing them. They subsequently made a huge documentary about them. And so, the next day after the BBC had left, we kind of made contact through a Japanese journalist and they agreed to give us an interview. And the next day we went in a car to the military headquarters of the Taliban where we met the education minister, the foreign minister and the religion minister, as well as quite a few others. As a woman, I was not allowed to speak or say a word. I took all the notes and had the Bibles in my bag, sort of burning a hole in my bag. And a few hours into this interview where we interviewed them about their belief system, their religion, you know, why they interpret the Quran in a particular way they did, what their education structures were, what their kind of structure of hierarchy was, who was in charge of what, I mean, just like full blown interview. And at the end of it, one of the guys on the team who I later married became my husband, said, we've got this gift to give you and we believe this is the most precious gift one human being can give another. And then the other member of the team said, it's the Holy Bible and they both looked at me and I got the Bibles out and we handed them out. And the religion minister, he called himself the keeper of the Holy Quran, the education minister spoke English so he did all the translating. Religion minister began to speak and this is what he said. He said, I know exactly what this book is. I've prayed to Allah for years so I could have a Bible. I will read this book every day until I finish it. Thank you for bringing this book in the answer to my prayers.

Wow. Amazing. So about

a year later, Floyd McClellan was back in the UK speaking and I went and shared this story with him and he remembered the prophetic word and we just had a very encouraging time together. So yes, that is my Floyd McClellan story.
