New Car and Car Trouble

A while back, God provided an amazing tool for the ministry: a Subaru Forester. It was back in October that a missionary was moving back to Canada and was needing to sell his vehilcle. Even the night before the news was given to us, we were praying and asking God to provide for the needs of the ministry.

After a long, drawn out issue with wire transfers, we finally got the vehicle we had been praying for.

Here are some pictures of the car:







We have been using the vehicle to do all kinds of work in te last few months. It has been such a great blessing to be able to use the car as we travel all over the country to preach the Gospel. Just as America`s early circut preachers would travel all over the frontier on a horse to preach the Gospel, we now are using a different kind of horse.

With the using of a vehicle, you always find things which need to be taken care of... Well, it just so happens that we have a few things to take care of...

After the "check engine" light came on, Phil took the car to an elder of the church who is a mechanic. It ends up that te shocks are totally dead, the breaks are nearly worn out, there are some sensors that need to be changed in the engine. All of that, and a few other smaller issues end up costing about $1,000.

Yet, we are praising God because we still have a very reliable vehicle that, once fixed, will take us to people who yet to hear te Gospel of Jesus Christ! We are trusting God to provide for all our needs - cars being the least of our needs.

But God really is providing for us! After prayimg specifically for a couple of weeks, God has brought in more support in the first two weeks of January than in te entire mont of December.

Praise God with us! And please keep praying that God will keep providing for all our needs.
