Finally.....one year after our supporters helped us raise the money for a new Green Door truck, it finally has arrived!!! Meet "Abe," our 2011 4X4 Nissan diesel truck. We hardly expected a brand new truck but that is what God has provided. Every lead of the possibility of a truck fell through this last year and we had no time to travel (and our visas would not allow it) to South Africa or Zimbabwe to look at dealerships there. We tried to work through a missionary program that could bring in vehicles from Japan but the earthquake complicated matters and that fell through. We had contacts looking all over South Africa for 4X4 trucks but we were told that they were scarce and those that had them didn't give them up. So we waited and prayed. With only three weeks left here in Dondo, we were beginning to think we would have to return to the States once again without purchasing a truck. Phil discovered a truck like this a week ago in Beira but it sold before he could even inquire about it. The dealer said he had another one in Maputo, and true to his word, he brought it to Beira today and now it is sitting in our yard! We had exactly enough money to pay for it due to the interest that had accumulated through the year in the bank as we waited for it to arrive. God's timing is just right and the truck will work great for our needs in the Green Door ministry. Thank you Jesus for your good gift to us and your faithfulness to provide. Thank you supporters for helping us to raise the funds. Thank you prayer partners for faithfully praying for one year to see this answered. May our new "Abe" be as blessed as Abraham in the Bible and be willing to go wherever he is asked to go!  |
| Our new truck came with this license plate so we call it Abraham. |
 |
| What a blessing to have truck that is 4X4, diesel and working! |
 |
| We went to a baby dedication out at the Savane church plant on Sunday in our old truck. This truck has carried so many things building Green Door houses.....including children! |
 |
| One of the fun things kids like to do in Moz is ride on the bumper of our cars. We have to watch out for them as we drive through the bairros and shoo them off. |
 |
| Agusta and Nelson, the leaders at Savane welcomed their new little girl. They decided to name her.....Pam. |
 |
| When we are out at Savane, chickens are often given as a gifts. |
 |
| Not everyone was happy at the celebration! |

| Mozambique's winters may mean having to wear a hat. Temps usually run in the 80's during the day and down in the mid 60's at night. |

Praise God for answered prayers! What a great testimony! Blessings as you wrap up this trip to Moz.
Our God is an awesome God!!!
God is good. It's cool that you named it Abraham for many reasons. It made me think that your long wait for Abe was like Abraham's wait for his promised son.
What a blessing! It's so cool that while waiting so long, the interest built up enough to buy a new truck! God is in control! It's so nice hearing about all the goings on there. Can't wait to talk to you in person soon!
God Bless, Keri Varkony
How exciting to finally have a working truck for the GD project and more time used effectively for creating homes. What an answer to prayer! PTL!
Praise the Lord! That's so awesome Pam. I remember you talking to me about the whole truck situation. It's so great to know that the Lord provided. I miss you Lady. Keep up the good work and have a safe trip home (:
I am blessed and encouraged to hear of God's perfect timing...as always. Thanks for letting us partner in God's ministry in Dondo. Those babies are precious!
