We had a radio call for assistance at the Safebus, where we met a guy from Penzance who had been on a train; met a few guys on board who persuaded him to get o? at Plymouth, then promptly abandoned him! He had no ID, no wallet, no money or cards, no phone, no key….. and wasn’t forthcoming with his name or any other details
We wondered if he might be autistic but he told the paramedics he was bipolar. With no information to go on, we started to wonder about a place of safety. Then the senior paramedic managed to obtain the man’s mother’s phone no. That itself was a miracle – how many of us can remember phone numbers nowadays? We rang mum; to her great relief as it transpired he’d been missing for 2 days! The police discovered he was registered as a missing person and really helped us. In all this the senior paramedic was so caring and it was a privilege to work alongside him
So, so many miracles/answers to prayer! That he arrived at the Safebus walking from the rail station. That he could even remember his mum’s phone number; that he remained calm and trusted us. Overall we knew though that the real miracle was that our God was once again showing his amazing love and care and even allowing us to play a small part in getting this man safe in what might otherwise have been called an impossible situation!
