Update on Transportation. 2021
This old truck pictured here is now officially retired. The chassis rusted out to the point it was unsafe to drive in addition to other mechanical problems. It has been parked since 2017. Now it serves as spare parts to the Landrover we purchased in 2016. Amazing how the truck keeps on giving.
The original work horse. RIP
(Just rebuilt this old truck “again” now ready to get back in action.).

13 Years of driving in Mozambique has taken its toll on our old Landrover and one more time it left us stranded in the middle of nowhere.
Praise the Lord we have purchased a “new” to us Landrover to be able to use while the old work horse truck is being repaired. We don’t want to use the newer truck for construction materials just yet so the old truck will be great for that. Thank the Lord for a donation from Global River Church for enabling us to capitalize on this deal.

We have been using one vehicle for years now and it is just not possible anymore. The truck above is now in it’s repair years and we need an alternate 4×4 truck with good highway performance as well. With the need to go 100 miles to Nampula for needed supplies this old Landrover is not making the cut anymore. Pray the Lord will help us find a way to arrange one more vehicle.

The original story…“June of 2003 • 4 of us from the same church caught a wave of revival to head over to Mozambique, Africa.
Our church graciously provided the funds to purchase the original a new Landrover.
Now 2014 • 11 years later and I am still serving in Mozambique. That new Landrover is now beyond reliable service and that brings us to one of our greatest finacial challenges in 11 years. Let me tell you that old Landrover has provided us with excellent service.
Carrying building materials, pastors, doing outreaches, visiting bush churches and so much more. One night a baby was born in the back while Andrea was taking the person to the hospital, ut the baby came out first. I have used it on several occasions to take bodies of friends or there relatives out of hospitals and back to their villages to be buried. Cannot count the number of rides I have given to locals and missionaries. We have been extremely blessed to have that truck.”
Thank you and God bless you.
