God enabled us to return home with no alternator belt


Psalm 18:32-33 says, "It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights." This past trip to Ngoyla was accompanied by a miraculous return. I managed to drive back with a damaged alternator/water pump belt. By the end of the trip, it was no belt at all! I have a picture of it... it looks like some dirty wire, certainly not a belt that was meant to turn an alternator and water pump. It was just draped around the pullies loosely, certainly not pulling anything. But the Lord made my way perfect! Not only did the battery never run out of electricity during the 600-mile trip, the engine never stopped and the red light never came on to indicate that the battery was not charging. It came on only after we had arrived at our destination. This was the third time that God has done this. The first two times were when a metal tube, a piece of the carburator, was aspirated into the engine block of our VW combi and when I mistakenly dumped kerosene into my gas tank instead of gas. In each of these three cases, I never knew that a problem existed until we had arrived safely at our destination. God is working miracles!
