Last year we were driving home from Western Australia. Our trip is about the equivalent of driving right across continental USA. This may give you an idea of the distance involved.
We were still about 600 miles from home when we saw some horse manure splattered right in the middle of the road. That is not a common sight these days. About fifteen minutes later we came upon a horse drawn vehicle, again a rare sight. It had some writing on the back but we could not read it as we passed him by.
Once we got in front of him, not hard to do when he was doing about ten miles an hour, my wife asked me to stop so that she could take a few pictures as it came towards us. So we stopped. She got out with the camera and this is what she saw.
To our surprise the vehicle pulled over right behind us and we then saw the words "Gospel Wagon" painted on the front. You will see it easily if you look at an enlarged picture. Soon we were in conversation with the driver, Colin Trevaskis, and he told us all about his travelling ministry.
He had travellled all over the countryside over the last few years and, whenever anyone stopped to take a pic, he would pull up and talk to them about the Lord. What an idea!
He built the wagon himself and it is his travelling home. The inside is well-kitted out with a small kitchen and bedroom. It looks a bit cramped to me but he seems happy about it. The side opens up and reveals a largish space that he has stocked with Bibles, many Gospel tracts and various Christian publications. These are offered freely to all. He funds it himself with aid from the Baptist Church where he is a member.
This is how he spends his retirement years. What a wonderful idea. His name is Colin Trevaskis and he has a small website that has more pics and information.
