      Lessons from a ‘48 Frazer
The year was 1959. Our family was preparing to go to Mexico City from Seattle as missionaries. We had never been there to see if we liked it. My father had been to Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, once, and felt God was calling him to take his family to Mexico. We had a nice 1952 Ford and Dad had built a small trailer in which to haul all our earthly goods.

Three dozen of us sorted into vans on a cool July morning in Bend like fresh-picked peaches heading to market. Half a day later, we arrived at Gleanings for the Hungry, a YWAM mission in Dinuba, CA, set amidst endless groves of fruit trees in the San Juaquin Valley, under a sweltering sun that clocks in early and works hard all day.
