Praise the Lord, Super Blue is ready!! After a new fuel pump and a couple of new fuses we are good to drive again!
This Chevy DMax truck is 17 years old, has a 5 speed manual transmission, no A/C, no power windows, etc. But I cannot fully explain what a Blessing this truck has been to this Ministry. For those who don’t know the story, when Charles and I first moved here 20 years ago we had no transportation. So, each day, we’d get up and take a bus somewhere, go to the end of the route, then get off wherever God told us and walk for hours at a time, looking for souls. We’d carry 30-40 pound backpacks with rice, Bibles, and whatever we could bring! We’d follow the jungle trails until we reached a community. We did this for over 3 years.
Then Mom, Dad, and my older brother, Jerry Jr, bought Super Blue for our ministry here. This truck has allowed us to carry thousands of people to Church in these 17 years, deliver thousands of pounds of food and Bibles each year, carry school supplies, clothes and so much more. Oh the prayers, the praise, the songs that have rang out in the quiet of the jungle in this truck. The precious sounds of laughter from children have filled my heart as we’ve taken them to and from Church on the rugged roads in this truck. Nothing more beautiful than the voices of Ecuadorians praising the Lord in the truck as the power of God falls upon all inside! One Brother even received the Holy Ghost sitting right in the back of this truck!
This truck has also carried me safely through many dangerous situations, where the enemy was present wanting to cause us harm. However, with prayers ringing out, the Lord took the wheel and brought us on through. It has been driven through rivers and on slippery muddy jungle roads. It has climbed mountainous terrain where a steep drop-off was nearby and has taken us down into the deepest valleys, too. This truck has gone through many roadblocks where things have been thrown at us and windows been banged on, trying to cause fear and intimidation. Oh, but then, there are the stories of Angels surrounding the truck, taking us safely on our journey. And Angels who are riding in the truck with us! Hallelujah!
The monetary value of Super Blue is very little after all these years. But to this Ministry, Super Blue is a priceless Blessing from the Lord and we are so thankful for it!
