Hubby and I are coordinators at our church op shop and I was tasked with removing items from the CWA hall next to church as the building was to be demolished. That was on a Thursday and the building was being demolished the following Monday. I removed as much as I could in the way of crockery and cutlery, pantry cupboards etc. There was about 70 retro chrome dining chairs, 6 wooden dining chairs and a wood table. I took photo's and was planning on putting them on Marketplace, but we only had a short time to remove them and no storage available. We have a group of Fijians who regularly shop with us and 2 of the ladies dropped in just after we opened the shop, I knew they lived nearby and felt prompted to ask them if they were interested in at least the wooden chairs and table. I had the photo ready to show them and they gasped as I asked them, I was taken aback as I really thought it had been a stupid question... but, no. Their response was that they had been praying about chairs for their meeting place on their walk to our shop. Neither I or them could believe how seamlessly and timely this situation and prayer fitted together. We felt that it really was divine intervention. We were able to give them the chairs and table for free, also a moving box full of hymn books as we were using new ones, and there was still enough crockery and utensils for them to kit out their kitchen in their venue. They prayed, I had the courage to ask what I thought was a stupid question, and in doing so their prayer was answered along with other items they could use.
