My wife and I are deeply passionate about protecting all God's children, the born and the unborn. So we find various ways to express that passion.

We pray, we give time, we give money. And a few years ago, we gave our used Honda Odyssey van to a pregnancy resource center (PRC) in our area to share with a client facing an unexpected pregnancy and financial stress.

Last week, we received an email from the PRC director, serendipitously updating us on how that one van has been used by the hand of God. True providence. Too good not to share.

Excerpts below:

I wanted to share with you that your donated Odyssey has become some what of the Lord’s instrument for salvation and practical help, somewhat of a Heavenly Chariot.
The first mother who was gifted your car, lost her baby at 24 hours old, one year ago, February. As we made funeral arrangements and sat with this young lady at the final visitation with her little one, at the Funeral Home, she tearfully asked about Heaven. Beyond sharing the Gospel that day, an elementary school level, Christian story book, was purchased for her to explain to her five year old where their baby was: in “Heaven”. This book also shared the Gospel. Within one week the grieving mother surrendered her life to Christ.

Though she did not drive off into the sunset in your car, she did wind up at My Sister’s House, in her state of Grief and long term brokenness. After nine months she wound up living with her mother up north. In the meantime her car was impounded as she left it in a place she should not have. She and I spoke as soon as two weeks ago and she is well, also sharing her mother was saved during that time.

What amazes me is that God seems to be upholding your hearts desire for the purpose of that car . . . .
Just Sunday I went to visit a client's newborn baby girl. The young mother, age 14, is being raised in a home with her 17 year old sister and her 15 month old baby boy. The single grandmother (no older than 38), working near to 72 hours per week, has been having transportation difficulty. I nearly fell out of my chair as she shared that she had just purchased a great Odyssey from her place of work, the car impound. She stated clearly that the car once belonged to one of our clients' mother but the mother had moved, so she had purchased the car since it was up for sale.

Our Hope is that yet another story of Salvation will come about from those Heavenly Wheels you donated several years back.
