We have a new vehicle! The Lord has provided in so many ways! This is a letter that Pastor Wells asked us to write him for his records. Hope this blesses you! Thanks for your prayers!

Letter to Pastor Wells written by Rachael:
Brandon and I were the owners of two cars when we got married. However, in the summer of 2006, about two weeks after trading in Brandon’s truck for a lower mileage car, Brandon was involved in a car accident. He was not at fault but the man who was had a suspended drivers license and no insurance. After months of trying to have the car fixed we were told it was our best option was to sell this car for parts. This set us back quite a bit and the car we had left, although still running well was quickly getting high mileage.
Brandon felt we needed a better more reliable car, so we began to look around. Through a series of events the Lord gave us an opportunity to buy a good vehicle for a good price. We had some money saved up but were also going to need to sale our car in order to make the purchase. We had set the car out on the corner a couple of times but hadn’t had anyone interested.
Sunday (02-18-07) at the end of the prayer meeting before you were having people come down for personal prayer requests you asked some thought provoking questions about things people might not consider big things but things we should still lift up in prayer. The first question was “Do you have something you need to sell”? This caught my attention and I turned to Brandon and asked, “Did you hear what he said?” Immediately I felt convicted due to my lack in asking and trusting the Lord to bring a buyer who would pay the price we needed. Although I couldn’t get away from the video room to come down for prayer I asked the Lord to be in charge of the sale of our vehicle.
On Monday morning we set the car out on the corner again. Around lunch we had two men come by and look at the car, within about 10 minutes of each other. One of the men called Brandon about 5 minutes after leaving and made us an offer. He had cash and wanted to buy the car that day. The offer he made was exactly the amount we needed to have from the sale! Brandon asked me if I had any cautions but all I had to proclaim was the goodness of the Lord. The man had been out that day specifically looking for a car. He said after he left, the Lord prompted him to come back because this was the car he was supposed to buy!!! From the time he first saw the car until he had the title, we had the money and it was a done deal was about a total of an hour and a half.
There are no doubts in my mind the Lord orchestrated the sale of our car. I am grateful He waited until I asked and trusted him. He does care - even about the “small” things!

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Very Cool. I'm proud of you guys for the way you handled this situation, and relied on the Lord. I know that can be hard sometimes, but way to go. And for whoever reads this comment, look what God will do with some one who is willing to trust him. All God wants from his children is a life of faith. He wants us "as his children" to call on him in good times, and in bad. Another part of this story is: When Brandon got hit, he witnessed to the man who hit him. You've got to believe that God blessed Brandon for that to. Great job Brandon and Rachael keep the faith.
Always a Pleasure,
