"Excuse me, I have to go believe!"

I am working on my next book. Here is the intro to Chapter 4:

When Pastor Yonggi-Cho visited Sweden in the 1990’s, he suddenly interrupted one of his interviews with these words: “I have to go pray…”

The journalist who was interviewing him was quite irritated. He was sitting there with all of his important, “critical” questions, and now this “strange” preacher had the audacity to interrupt the interview with the excuse that he had to go “pray.”

Because I know Pastor Yonggi-Cho through his teaching, he could just as well have said, “Excuse me, I have to interrupt this interview so that I can go believe!”
