The Blessing of a New Vehicle!
Many thanks to all of you who have prayed for and made contributions towards a new vehicle for the ministry. On Monday, June 7, we picked up our Toyota Land Cruiser Prado fresh from Japan through the port of Mombasa in Kenya. For those of you who know me well, I have always loved cars […]
