Our Van Died
Our van has died and gone to heaven. 🙂
God blessed us with a van which was large enough to transport a family of 9 and was cheap enough for us to buy 5 years ago. Our 1990 van traveled over 220,000 miles. Even though it had no AC and leaked like a sieve we still felt blessed. When we purchased that van we prayed that God would provide a new van when it died. We are believing God is doing exactly that, right now, providing us with a new van.
Our friends have been helping Beth get around while we wait for another van. (Thank you friends!!!!)
Beth was told that a man wanted to donate a van to us. It’s our understanding that he is giving it to us through a charitable organization. Beth has been in touch with this organization. They advised Beth to write a letter, which she did yesterday. This is what Beth understands is the process. Obviously we need a van ASAP. Please pray for favor with the organization. Please pray that this goes through without any problems or delays.
Because I normally take care of things like this, Beth is feeling allot of pressure managing the family and this issue while I’m in Afghanistan. I’m very proud of Beth! She has done a terrific job taking care of the family while I’ve been away. (I love you Beth!!!) Please pray for Beth to receive God’s guidance (and favor).
I’ve attached a recent picture of our old van. If you look closely, you will see Sarah on the roof of the van goofing off. During the 4th of July this year and last all the kids sat on the roof and watched the fireworks. That is just one of many, many good memories. Thank you God for our old and new van.
Thank you for praying for us.
Love and blessings,
Mark
