And what's behind door # 2 Bob?

It is an unbelievable feeling to be in ministry and to experience God blessing you through those around you. Here is a quick story of how God is blessing us.

When we first got to Alaska we had a car waiting for us. A soldier had donated an older Toyota to the ministry and Dan had designated it for us to use. So immediately we had transportation. About two weeks later the engine went in the car. I had not thought to check all the fluids and subsequently the engine stopped running. Needless to say I learned a valuable lesson. Elaine has repeated her Pappy a few times reminding me, "You can run a car as far as you want without gas but don't take it anywhere without oil." We went ahead and bought a 1995 Honda and since August we have had one nice reliable vehicle. That is until a few weeks ago. Now we have two. A soldier in the ministry came to Dan again and asked if he could donate a Jeep Cherokee to the ministry. Again Dan has designated it to us to use. We are so thankful for this car. It is four-wheel drive (which will be very useful in the deep snow) and is big enough I can pile a few guys in it. This has also freed up Elaine's and my schedule. Now we don't have to be so precise when planning our days. We can have the freedom to go and meet with Soldiers and Airmen whenever we want. This has been a huge blessing tour ministry and we really wanted to share it with all of you.

In Christ,

Wes

P.S. Thank you so much Jason & Mary
