I walked to the counter, and a taller-than-usual man who spoke perfect English turned to me and asked, "Do you have a briefcase?"Taken aback, I finally gathered my thoughts and replied, "As a matter of fact, I do.""I'm trying to make a fast-food commercial about a businessman running into my restaurant, getting his food really fast, and then heading back to work," he explained. Then he continued-and this is the part that is really unbelievable-and said, "If you will let me use your briefcase to make this commercial, I will feed you and your entire family all the chicken, french fries, and beverages you can eat and drink.""You have a deal " I enthusiastically agreed.I quickly ran to the car, opened the trunk, grabbed the briefcase, and ran back inside before the man could change his mind. Then I went out and told the family what God had just done. They could not believe it. It was still hard for me to believe too.We all headed into the restaurant and watched them make the commercial. When they were finished, the owner returned my briefcase and instructed us to go up to the counter and order anything and all we wanted. We thanked him, and boy, did we load up on the food We knew we would have nothing more until the next morning when we could get some money from the bank, so we seized the opportunity before us.My, but that fried chicken tasted like a big T-bone steak That day in Africa, we discovered that the God we served is the same anywhere in the world. It didn't matter where we were; He always met our needs.
