Pastoral Vehicle

For nearly ten years of ministry, I drove these things (pictured). I now drive a bigger one of a different make. I felt that there were many advantages to such a vehicle. It was very useful (a load bed at the back), it was easy to get in and out of (easier than a car / automobile), it was cheap to run, parking was easy, I could wave to people in the street and easily talk to them from the cab -- and the reaction to this vehicle was warm in the townships. One also picked up all the sounds and smells around one. OBSERVATION: A minister friend near Cape Town followed suit, and bought one.
