A Van, a Tyre, a Lost $5 Note: Answered Prayer

from Miracles in the 21st Century · host 3ABN Australia Radio

On a strict $200 budget with a specific prayer before every phone call, one broke PhD student found the perfect van, free new tires, and a five-dollar note lying on the floor of a ferry exactly when he needed it most. This detailed answered prayer story shows persistent, specific prayer paying off again and again on a single road trip. Needing to bring his ill mother from Sydney to Tasmania, Dr. John Ashton prayed before every single phone call while searching classified ads for an affordable van, repeatedly being led away from unsuitable vehicles until he found a perfectly insulated chocolate delivery van for just $100. New tires appeared unexpectedly cheap through a dealer swap, a flat tire happened to occur directly in front of a tire repair shop, and when he ran out of money for a much-needed ferry cabin for his unwell mother, he found a folded five-dollar note lying on the ground in the exact amount required.
