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.
