God’s provision – ministry van update
God provided the van we need! Last summer many people and churches responded to our special project to purchase a ministry van. We had the van picked out and even used it for the English Camp team from Oregon last July. However, in August, when we were to seal the deal and purchase the van it didn’t work out. We were disappointed but trusting that God had just the right plan.
So we waited. Then, at just the right time, God provided another van that perfectly suited our needs. The amazing thing is that although the van we finally purchased was the same price in Euros (because of the decline of the Euro in value from July to October) we actually paid $1,600 US dollars less than we would have paid in the summer! What a difference the exchange rate can make.
The day after we took possession of the van in November we needed it! We drove the van hundreds of miles the first week; helping out with a regional leadership conference our mission had in our area.
We will be using the van in the future for a variety of ministry purposes. The van will also be used by short-term and mid-term missionaries serving with our mission in the area who might not otherwise be able to afford to buy a vehicle or a van.
Thank you for your prayers and gifts for this project!

Praise the Lord!!! It’s always exciting to see how the Lord works. His faithfulness is amazing!
God works in mysterious ways. Praise the Lord.
Dude! Nice van….glad that the exchange rate is making things easier. Our church supports missionaries in England who report the same relief.
Blessings!
