Friends,
1. He followed me down the road through Albany Creek & noticed my Ute lights were failing, vehicle spluttering. He saw my army uniform, thought of his son who has just joined the army and stopped to offer a ‘soldier’ a hand.
2. He said he was a Christian and sensed God prompting him’ in his spirit to stop and assist.
3. He said he was a qualified motor mechanic. What better person to stop and assist with a broken down vehicle.
4. His ute battery fitted my ute, not perfectly, but his knowledge made it possible to drive to the Brendale mechanic.
5. He asked where I was going (Leitchs Road Brendale, to my mechanic). He was going to the same street as well!!
6. Finally, he had been praying to God about ADF Chaplaincy in the last two weeks. He thanked God for Army Chaplains who encouraged his son as a recruit whilst at basic training. He was grateful that Chaplains are in the ADF and are there to support the soldiers – like his son. The ministry of ADF Chaplains had reached through to him through his son’s encouragement. His prayer was that he could talk with an army Chaplain (and that too was answered!).
