The Coming Together of John and Joan

On a day a number of centuries ago John Calvin met the great heroine, Joan of Arc, they both had much indeed in common in their lives, on God's side, they made their mark Both were born and came from France so language was not a problem at all they had both been mightily used of God humbly both bowed to obey God's call John spoke admirably of Joan's bravery asking did you really hear a voice? one so audible so clear to be God oh yes Joan said it was no ordinary noise Joan spoke of Calvin's work in Geneva what was it like to see such transformation? John answered it wasn't me, the spirit of God it was His work to speak through God's revelation So much to share can't tell it all now John and Joan were now real true friends their great love for Jesus their saviour who died for their sins for their souls to mend (I've brought together John Calvin the Swiss reformer(1509-1564) and Joan of Arc who rescued France from English domination. (1412-1431), both French by birth and both mightily used of God. They both lived in different periods of history but thought it would be nice to bring them together and imagine what friends they could be)
