God can show up anywhere. Even at a businessmen’s fellowship dinner.
Only this night, He wasn’t after the head of some fortune 500 company, or a top executive: God was after three little boys ages 11, 12 and 14.
It all started as a normal evening for our photographer from the Media team. Already tired from a long day, he went dutifully to his last assignment of the day, covering a Businessmen’s Fellowship Dinner at the Tontine Hotel.
There’s not much to shoot at business dinner meetings, but he did sense that the presence of the Lord was there. So he snapped away.
As the event ended, a little (“wee”) boy dressed like a little businessman approached him. He had apparently been watching him all evening and was fascinated with the camera and especially his light diffuser that looked funny to him.
Our photographer then started sharing a few tips and explanations to him, even letting him play with the camera. He was soon joined by two other young boys, his brothers. He then shared his testimony, and how he had accepted the Lord at just about their age. As their mother showed up, he told her that she should speak to them about making a decision for the Lord.
The father, who had recently recommitted himself to the Lord, then joined them. He asked one of his sons if he wanted to accept the Lord. And he did. Then a second spoke up, and then the third. All wanted to accept the Lord.
He lead them in the sinner’s prayer and prayed for them, which prompted the very moved father to give him a big hug. The mom then embraced him, and then the younger son raced over. He too wanted a “huggie”.
Three wee boys were saved at a business dinner meeting.
