MAPUTO, MOZAMBIQUE

Land Rover--the vehicle that penetrated Africa.

I purchased this one for Enrique Mugabe, the President of the Assemblies of God churches in Mozambique. A couple months later on a return visit to Mozambique I didn't see the Land Rover anywhere. I asked Pastor Mugabe about it. "Oh, Brother Dave, please forgive me. I gave it to one of the pastors in a remote area who needed it much more than I."

This Godly and selfless man greatly influenced government officials who often sought his advice.

I realized that even if we could have, it would have been impossible to make him a rich man--he'd give it all away.

What a heart. What an example.
