Bryson and Mindy White Culture/Language Acquisition in Paraguay 
That was the question that we faced when our new van broke down on us this summer. We sat on the side of the road in 105 degree weather, with no water and with groceries sitting in the van.
Being forced to depend on God and fellow believers, we learned in a very real way that none of us is in this world alone. We need to accept our need for God and our need for others. I was also amazed to realize in a more real way that God uses unbelievers as well as believers in our lives to minister to us and show us He cares. There we sat on the side of the road – hot, tired, and frustrated – when God brought along a very generous man who brought Bryson to the only mechanic open on a Sunday. Another generous man gave me and the kids some water, and furthermore, the mechanic (also an unbeliever) was able to figure out what was wrong and fix it. That Sunday afternoon, the glory of God was shown to us, and unbelievers were used by the Almighty, even though they were unaware.
It has now been some time since this all occured. We went through three alternators last summer, but so far the van seems to be doing fine. Praise God for his provision.
