Being Gathered through Divine Direction 81 beginning of this ministry, we were taken into this breathtaking story of transformation as you are reading in this book. However, how did the four of us get involved? Here is a brief insight into the interwoven connections of how we were taken from our own life ideas by divine direction and were integrated into the work of God: After her conversion, Anni, who was single at the time, was so unsettled by false spiritual teachers that she stopped training to become a chemist and no longer knew what she should do. Her father, a postman, recommended that she take up a postal apprenticeship. However, Anni found herself in a kind of spiritual shock. Ivo, who at that time, already knew the sixteen-year-old Anni and saw her problem, advised her, to follow her father’s advice in trust, which Anni did. This one “small” step of obedience then got the ball rolling for an incredibly big story, for which we can only praise the Lord of Transformations: • Zita was in Zurich in 1982, where she was an apprentice as a postal employee and happened to be in the exact same class as Anni. And this despite the fact, that there were several classes per year of training. Through Anni’s example, Zita found into a relationship to Jesus. After the apprenticeship, the contact between the two remained and ultimately led to Zita joining the full-time ministry of Ivo and Anni in 1988, who had married in 1983.
