Early in November we received an email, suggesting that a bike would be very beneficial for Grace's work. Grace will typically be moving throughout the large mission residence compound daily. We shared this suggestion with a wonderful couple P&S from the Garrington Community Church, and their immediate response was to offer an adult tricycle. How perfect. Thanks P&S. They also shared how this trike was obtained in a load of scrap metal purchased by a brother who no longer wanted it. We then received a second email from Galmi reminding us that the bike should have a place for a basket and it should have a ladies style frame, because of the need to wear a skirt. I looked at the trike again, every detail is just as it should be. It is a vintage 3 speed Sears, Free Spirit trike with power brakes on monkey bar handles. Remember the banana bikes!! On the frame behind the seat is an area to mount a basket when we arrrive at our destination. Our friend and former neighbor from Lloydminster just recently closed his bike shop amd has agreed to mount 2 inch tires and give it a tune up prior to being crated. Our Lord is a God of details.
Surprises continue
We went to pick up the trike and the our surprises do not stop. Gord re-evaluated the trike and made a decision that it would be better for us to take one of 2 bikes that they had not sold prior to closing the shop. It would in fact also be a trike. Also ladies style with a basket on the back. And for the trike's long term care and maintenance, they gave us a bike chain cleaning kit and solution, with spare tire tubes and locking device. Our Lord is a God of details.
We love how each gift was such a blessing and we pray we will bless many other people because of it.
