Serious Call for "Van" Prayer

We really do need you to pray for our mechanic and the Minivan (a 1996 Plymouth Voyager): not only will it be fixed, it will also be safe to drive out.

Last year after we bought it we traveled out to Montreal. Just an hour out from the city the van stalled at 110km while passing. After 10 mins we could start it again and we went on our way in great prayer. The garage said it was a gas line issue... we left satisfied. We traveled to the Gaspe and put yet another 2000km on the machine without issue. Just a few hours away from the St. Barbe ferry the van stalled again, in the same way. We took her in after we got home and no one could isolate the problem.

It was at this point that the front panel gave up the ghost and began to stop functioning. At first is was sporadic, now it is constant. We didn't know how fast we were going, the engine temp and the amount of gas in the machine. This came and went at will, never really being consistent. Again the mechanic seemed stumped after installing a new panel and having the same trouble. This has been the case for the past 8 months. Yet in all that time it did not stall. Now this problem has come back and the obvious "electrical" problem may be the cause.

It is currently in a shop with "Jim" on "Misery Hill" (As I indicated in another blog). Please pray for a miracle as we must use this machine to get to Florenceville, and of course with the cost of a move financially a new vehicle is not possible at this time. You may believe this to be a petty prayer request, but as it involves the safety of the family I believe it is warranted.

When you talk to the Father, You can ask Him anything. Don`t be timid! He knows your needs and will provide.

Praying with you, Allison.
