The Great Escape

Ever seen the movie "The Great Escape"? It starred Steve McQueen.
Well, Guilherme Nhanale of Mozambique also experienced a "Great Escape."

This a the true story about an escape through water, not fire.
Guilherme Nhanale works for Scripture Union in Mozambique, Africa. Before he became a Christian he found himself in Prison.
The Prison was completely surrounded by a river and the river was full of crocodiles! Could he escape?
Guilherme found a Bible and read Chapter Matthew 19 v 26 "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."

Guilherme didn't know God - but he thought God would be able to help him escape from prison.
But the only way out was across the river. Guilherme decided to swim.

One day Guilherme managed to slip past the guards and swam across the river to freedom - without losing any arms or legs!
After this Guilherme knew that God could be trusted.
