Our big news this week, as a family, is that we purchased and drove
home the 2008 Toyota, diesel 4×4 truck. We had an old 1997 Mitsubishi
gas truck that has cost us a lot of money over the years. We’ve had to
rebuild the engine 2 times, replace the clutch, the compressor, which
has cost us thousands of dollars. We drove it to Belem
mid-December. It overheated and needs a head gasket. It’s still there
and still getting repaired.
This Toyota we just bought has only 83,000 kilometers and should run for
years without repairs. May people helped with donations, prayers,
encouragement, and support. Thank you. This truck will be used in
Maraba and out of town to plant churches. Deanna will be able to use it
for medical needs and going to the clinics and hospitals. I look
forward to travelling to other mission bases and churches, and to
travelling on the secondary roads outside of Marabá, where we plan to
plant churches. This truck will serve us well in the city and along the
rough interior roads, and along the trans-amazon highway.
I am glad that you were able to purchase this vehicle. You need a 4×4 on the type of roads you have to travel there. May the Lord bless the vehicle as you use it for His cause. Anne
