The Friendship of John and Joan

This is a friendship I would like to develop from their time periods so different indeed Joan the brave warrior for God's cause John valiant for truth poor souls to feed Joan, John says what was prison like? being interrogated before the final trial well says Joan one just felt God's near felt His strength to stand firm and no denial Now, John, you faced such opposition Joan speaks with such great admiration what was Geneva like in your time? well, John speaking it seemed a new creation God was bringing conviction on so many truth did effect even me deep into my soul now, Joan, you dressed as a man in battle your femininity, did you feel it was stole Joan replies no it was my calling God's will is always the safest place to be I've just been reading through your institutes justification by faith has set us free John then relates to its real influence when writing it he never thought it so but God uses our weak efforts in His power as in the reformation spread his word to go Now John and Joan came so very fond for each other and their own love for God Jehovah Jireh means God will provide both know this by the use of His sword Gods provision was to work in both appreciation for each other so clear but I know in reality they never met only 130 years divided them to be near (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.
