Is a $20 fake Rolex WORTH IT?

Today we had a preacher came from KL in church.
Actually he's not a stranger. He often came and preached in IES. His wife even said that he came more in Jakarta then to KL. (Huh? :) )

Anyway, what amazed me most is when Pt. Chris shared about his traveled to Cambodia with his team. Whereas they went to a village near a padi field, and the church was basically just a plastic mattress. The congregation was just a very very poor farmers.

After they preached, he asked God what He wanted him to do. And then he felt that God wanted him to give out something. He still didn't know what.

A young man came to him and asked him to pray for him. He was dressed quite nice, among the others.
When he started to pray, he then asked the guy to raised his hands. Then he himself started to release his watch, and put it in that guys wrist.
Pt. Chris shared that he thinks that this guy would've felt awkward, thinking what are this pastor doing to him? hahaha!
And then out of curiosity, the guy took a peak, and saw what Pt. Chris was doing, and tears started to comes down from his eyes.

Pt. Chris was shocked. It was a Rolex watch, but a fake one! The one that probably has double L and X es hahaha! Only like $20, that you can easily get at Mangga Dua :)
And still it can make a man tremble.
Later he's been told that this man just got a new job as a supervisor, so the dad got him a brand new sleeves, pants, and shoes. So he's been praying for God for a watch!
So, this is God's answer for him.

Even a $20 worth material, can make a person truly belief that God do answer prayers!

So is it worth it?
You answered it!
