This truck has gotten us through plenty of horrible road situations<\/p><\/div>\n

Transport in this place is not easy to find<\/p><\/div>\n

We have been blessed by the gift of this wonderful, now old, pick-up for about 16 years.\u00a0 Covenant Women funded the purchase of this Toyota Hilux, back in 2002, and asked that it be dedicated to helping women and children.\u00a0 Over the years we could not count the number of rides given, goods and belongings transported, and visits to villages made.\u00a0 If only you could have personally heard the thanks spoken, oftentimes with qualifying statements like, \u201cwithout that ride, our sister would have died\u201d or \u201cwithout the meds you brought from Yaounde, I would still be seriously ill\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0This truck made it possible for Aleta to make her twice weekly visits to her Fulani\/Muslixm friends across the river border into Cameroon for the now 5 years since all Muslixms were chased out of CAR.\u00a0 This truck made it possible for us get quickly out of harm\u2019s way during evacuations and troubles, and provided a safe and reliable way to get to and fro no matter the reason.\u00a0 We are so thankful to have had the use of it, and are now, as we retire from CAR missions, passing it on for the use of Covenant missionaries in DRC.\u00a0 May the Lord bless it and all travels made with it, and may it last for another 16 years!<\/p>\n
