A father of three was in Airlie Beach recently with his family when he stopped to talk to a fellow German, a young backpacker who was travelling the country.
Having lived in the Whitsundays for many years and built a life here, the father enjoyed speaking in his native tongue and hearing about the young man's adventures.
After a few minutes, the backpacker divulged that he was a little stuck because he had just run out of money and was unable to put fuel in his vehicle to get to the next location.
A religious man, the Whitsunday local said a quick prayer to his God and received an instant response.
He was told to go to the ATM, withdraw $50, and give it to the young traveller.
Without question, he did what he felt called to do and presented the backpacker with the bright yellow fifty-dollar note.
Startled, the young man refused to take the money at first, saying he could not accept charity. But the Whitsunday local insisted, and once he saw the genuine nature of the offer, it was graciously accepted.
This story was recounted at the Whitsunday Baptist Church on Sunday morning and, regardless of your religion, it is a lovely example of how God can move through you in everyday life.
