The Harvesters Ministries Bible placement team was eager to meet fellow believers and present them with Bibles in their own language. But as they ascended one of the highest mountains in Lesotho, their excitement turned to concern. Their vehicle’s gearbox gave out, smoke billowing from the engine. Stranded with no way forward, the team feared the believers at the mountaintop would be left empty-handed.
But, when serving an almighty God for whom all things are possible, trials often turn into testimonies of His faithfulness. The Student Pastor of the church heard the news, jumped on his horse and grabbed a bag that had been filled with maize meal. Downhill, the team members, almost ready to turn back, were surprised to see this friend coming down the mountain road on horseback – an answer to their prayers.
Soon enough, disciples at the top of the mountain were holding their own copies of God’s Word in their hands – Bibles delivered not by human means but by God’s provision, and received by joyful recipients who faithfully put their trust in Him. How the team and their vehicle made it back is another testimony of God’s grace, but one thing is certain – the mission was accomplished.
