If you heard deafening static followed by the words, ‘My children. Do not be afraid’?Would you turn to God? Subscribe to the conspiracy theories? Or put your faith in science and a rational explanation?The lives of all twenty-six people in this account are affected by the message. Most because they heard it. Some because they didn’t.The Testimony – a gripping story of the world brought to its knees and of its people, confused and afraid.
