Freedom – Our New 4X4 Vehicle
The Lord made the way for us to purchase our new vehicle to take us around in Africa with about half of the money that I received a year ago as a lump sum settlement for my back injury. After we received the settlement, we sought the Lord as what to use the money for. He spoke to our hearts that we were to buy a vehicle to travel to the unreached people groups of Africa with, bringing the gospel to them. Originally we thought that it would just be one vehicle that we were to name, “Boldness.” But we then realized that the Lord was giving us a motorcycle, which we named, “Acceleration,” and eventually two vehicles, “Boldness,” which we will purchase in the future, and “Freedom” which is a 2002 Nissan Terrano 4X4 Turbo Diesel. As we prayed for a name for the vehicle, the Lord gave us the name, “Freedom,” as we believe that this vehicle will take us to bring freedom to those bound by Satan.

It is a beautiful dark green SUV, and only has 70,000 kilometers on it, which I think is under 40,000 miles. It seats seven with seat belts, but fits nine still comfortably, so our family and the Gellatlys fit nicely into it. We purchased it from a very respected missionary here in Lichinga. He was the second owner. The original owner was an ambassador from Belgium. The vehicle is in beautiful condition and handles the crazy roads here in Africa very well. They drive on the left side of the road, like in England, so I had to get used to driving a vehicle like this again. We had a couple of vehicles like that in Pohnpei when we were missionaries there. We praise the Lord for this huge blessing.
