Three Miracles on the Health Charter Tour

The owner of Empire Tire decided to fix the tire himself.  He then refused to take any payment.  This was a miracle.

I am often asked:  Do you really think we can win against Health Canada?

I would like to encourage you by sharing three small miracles that happened during the recent Health Charter Tour.  On October 4^th, 2025, the Health Charter Tour began winding its way across Canada, stopping at health food stores for meet and greets and hosting evening events in major cities. It featured interviews with experts and citizens, natural health stories and testimonials, plus livestreams "from the road"!

At the same time, the NHPPA broadcast an online health show for 20 days which shared these interviews with manufacturers, store owners, doctors, and researchers, as well as other Canadians standing up for natural health freedom. You can watch the interviews on our website to hear about their journeys, insights, and what drives people to protect our right to choose natural health products.  https://nhppa.org/live/

The Charter Tour culminated in Ottawa on October 25th with the historic handover of the Charter of Health Freedom Petition – over 150,000 signatures strong, now the 3rd largest petition in Canadian history – to MP Blaine Calkins ahead of its parliamentary vote.

Here is the story of three miracles:

Miracle #1

The first miracle is that the Tour happened at all.  We had two months to organize the 3-week event.  It was an impossible task for a small group that relies on volunteers.  Yet within the 3-week span of the tour, we held 23 live events across Canada, all organized and run by volunteers.

We had to find, interview, and record speakers for the Health Show.  All of this was impossible, but it happened anyway.  Canadians across the country stood up and made it happen.  More accurately, God wanted it done.

Miracle #2

The second miracle happened in Saskatoon.  We had a live event scheduled for the evening of October 16th.  We needed more postcards.  A printer agreed to print them but we had to pick them up before they closed at 5 pm.  At 4:15 pm I noticed that our VW van was listing on the trailer.  A rear tire was flat.

We were planning to leave around 5 a.m. the next morning to drive to Winnipeg for an event the next day. We couldn’t tow the van with a flat tire. We went to a nearby Kal Tire which did not have time to fix the tire. I asked them to put air in the tire. While they were filling the tire with air I saw a screw in it. We were in trouble. I asked God how we were going to get the tire fixed. It was 4:30 and we had to go to the printer on the other side of town and then go to the Saskatoon event.

I drove to the printer, dropped off Teresa, and parked in front of the building next door. A person leaving the building was admiring the van and I shared that I needed the tire fixed. He said Empire Tire is on the next block.

So I drove up to Empire Tire at about 4:50 p.m.  The owner was standing outside speaking to a person who left as I approached.  I got the owner’s attention and explained I needed the tire fixed as we were travelling to Winnipeg the next morning.  He said he could not ask his workers to stay past 5.  He decided to fix the tire himself.  He then refused to take any payment.  This was a miracle.

Miracle #3

The third miracle arose from a change in plans.  Arriving late into Sault Ste. Marie one evening, we learned that our Airbnb in Collingwood for the following two nights had cancelled.  Teresa quickly went online and found new accommodations in Collingwood that had not been available previously.  We both knew this was not an accident.

We ended up spending two days at a different Airbnb in Collingwood without knowing why we were diverted there.  Then as we were packing the van to leave we learned that the owners of the Airbnb were deeply connected to some of the Health Show speakers.  They were also involved in research to reverse dementia with nutrition.

As a result, we interviewed Thom Zaugg for the Health Show.  We had a discussion about the research that will change its direction.  We all understood that we were having a pre-arranged appointment.  This was divine intervention.

These miracles helped me to understand that God is in control.  We are on the right track.  Let’s press forward.
