Divinely Driven Taxi Sparks Romance in R...

Trapper Jack (Philip Keller)
About this episode

In a world of God’s miracles and blessings, this is good stuff! This is the story of an atheist from the U.S. meeting a Brazilian believer in a Rome taxi driven by a crazy man who was running red lights and driving 60+ miles an hour through downtown Rome at 1 AM.

Nothing like a little shared fear of death to inspire a wide-eyed Jeff to mutter, ‘want to get some dinner?’ Gessica, alone and scared, was all in. She had literally been pushed into the backseat by the driver. Had God actually brought this couple together in such a frightening way?

The week of sightseeing led to five years of texting, three trips of 7000 miles to see each other, a voice from heaven that seemed to be giving a blessing to this couple, and of course, an impossible conversion in a most unique way. This is quite a love story that demonstrates what trusting in God’s plan can bring. Enjoy the podcast!
