Impartation – Our New Motorcycle
This rainy season we realized how difficult it is to take the little 50cc motorbikes to the villages in the matope (mud). You literally drive a few hundred feet, then have to stop and try to dig the matope out of your wheel wells because the tire has stopped on the mud. Last year, when we first arrived to Lichinga, we bought a new 50cc motorbike which we named, “Acceleration,” and believe me, it has already lived up to its’ name as we took that motorbike to tons of unreached Yao villages, bringing the gospel of Christ. But our intention was that “Acceleration,” along with the 50cc motorbikes that Jesse has purchased, “Transition” and “Transformation” would stay here in Mozambique when we make the move across Africa to Mali. Every week we send out the Mozambican missionaries who live on base with us here on these motorbikes to the villages. Victo, Chanito, Gezani, Peter, Bona and Carlos have faithfully been traveling, on these motorbikes and on bicycles that have also been purchased, to so many of the villages where we work doing evangelism and discipleship, with much success.
.
God had laid it on mine and Jesse’s heart that He would soon give us two 125cc dirt bikes that we could ride through the matope during rainy season and would be much better for the trails going to all of the villages. But we believe that these 125cc dirt bikes will travel with us across Africa to Mali as well, where we will use them there to bring the gospel of Christ to the unreached Bambara villages. Today the Lord gave us the first of these two 125cc dirt bikes. We scored this brand new Yamaha 2-stroke 125cc for the lowest price possible here in Lichinga, using some of the money the Lord gave us over a year ago that was designated to purchase vehicles to bring the gospel to the unreached people groups. We named this motorcycle, “Impartation,” as we are traveling to the villages imparting the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit to those who come to Christ. Jesse’s is coming soon, too, and he has already named it, “Multiplication.” Praise the Lord for these tools that will carry us to the ends of the earth with the gospel of Christ. Another plus is that these bikes were built much better for taking them off of jumps, as we love to do in the villages to get laughs and cheers from the villagers. Hey, someone has to bring the X-Games to Africa. =)
