We were living in Spencerville, Maryland, where I was leading the Free Methodist congregation there.
The cost of living outside the Beltway was considerably higher than East Liverpool, Ohio. We pretty quickly found ourselves in a financial crunch.
Debbie's Topaz met a tree close-up while one of our kids was learning to drive. We needed a replacement. We laid the situation out before God and asked Him to provide for our need. That's how this story began.
I was driving back to Ohio to meet with a group of people who were interested in starting a new church. Bill Barlow was part of that group.
Following one of our meetings, he took me out in his driveway and showed me a little, brown Horizon. He told me that a family member had given it to them, but they didn't really need it anymore. He asked if we could use it?
I told him about our prayer and accepted the gift. I drove that Horizon for several years. Then Travis drove it for a couple of years. Finally, I gave it away - still running great - while living in Akron!
That was the first car God gave me.
