Here is Grace no.12.
Isn’t she beautiful.
She’s a Wesleyan Home Mission travelling gospel horse drawn car for travelling preachers.
I knew that John Wesley was an itinerant preacher on horseback but I didn’t know about these later gospel mission cars.
I saw Grace No.12 yesterday at The Black Country Living Museum and immediately fell in love with her.
She is no.12 and I wonder how many others have been preserved.
I love the quotes on the side “The Lord give you peace always”
“Heaven’s light our guide”
“Blessed are the pure of heart”

I am reminded by Grace no.12 that we, who follow Jesus Christ are all “itinerant” preachers and witnesses of the saving power of the gospel every day whether we intend it or not.
Each day as I go about my business, I am a witness for Jesus in what I say, I do and in the things I don’t do.
I am a witness of His love, His forgiveness, His mercy, His grace and His transforming power in me.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.”
Romans 1.16 NKJV
