One of the Most Amazing Stories Never Told

One of the Most Amazing Stories Never Told

Nov 23

Thanksgiving has one of the most Amazing God stories. Years before the Pilgrims left England for America a slave ship cruising the coast of America captured several Native Americans. These captives were brought back to England where they were taught English so they could be questioned about the extent of the Indian tribes and the terrain in the new world.

Later one of these Native Americans, Squanto, earned his release and returned  to his tribal area in New England. Tragically, he was captured again, brought back to Europe and was purchased by Portuguese Monks. They lead him to Christ and once again Squanto gained the opportunity to return to the Massachusetts shore.

What appeared to be one tragic event after another actually turned out to be used by God to fulfill His plans for the Pilgrims and Squanto.  It was this English speaking Christian Native American that was the one to rescue the Pilgrims that first winter. He ended up being a missionary to them.

Thanksgiving illustrates that God does cause all things to work together for good (Romans 8:28).
