On one occasion when Joanne and I returned around midnight from a rural village
in the state of Guanajuato, we had to cross through the same three brooks we had
crossed earlier that day with out any hindrance. When we were in the middle of
the last one, about 60 yards wide, the engine stalled. We sat there for a while
just praising the Lord that his Word had gone out that evening and would bring
everlasting fruit to His glory. The full moonlight sparkled in the water and the
only sound we could hear in the "nowhere" was the gurgling sound of water
entering the car. We prayed and "by faith" turned the ignition key and how sweet
was the sound of the Horizon engine springing to life again to slowly climb up
the muddy embankment to safer ground!
