I read of the Covenant Transport stories, and with doubt prayed God would show me one of those. I never recall seeing one before here in California. Two days later, on the freeway, next to me was a Covenant Transport truck! I just could not believe it and smiled the rest of the way home. God continues to encourage me as I wait for His time of restoration.” (California) “God has shown me how to lean on Him and only Him. He told me before my husband left that our marriage would be restored. I found Rejoice Marriage Ministries and have been standing for this marriage. I began reading about the Covenant Transport truck sightings, and didn't even know what a Covenant truck was. I began to wonder if I heard God right and asked Him in prayer for any word from Him that I was to continue to stand for this marriage. This morning, on the way to church, along a route I wouldn't normally take, parked at the side of the road was, sure enough, a Covenant truck. I praised Him all the way to church. On the way home, guess what I saw again? I thank God that He hears and answers His children when they call on Him. I will continue to stand for this marriage. Praise Him.” (Virginia) “My father recently had a heart attack and I placed a call to inform my husband, with whom I usually have little or no contact to tell him of the situation. I had wondered if I should call again to let him know of my Dad's progress. I had prayed about it, but was only thinking at the time that if I could see one of those trucks I would take it as a sign to call again. I pass a large truck stop going to and from work every day. I was having the thought and scanned the parking lot. Sure enough, there was a Covenant Transport truck on the lot. I had to laugh out loud and thank God for His sign then proceeded with my call.” (Missouri) “My husband and I are in the process of reconciliation after separation. One day, a disagreement occurred and I was discouraged and almost ready to move on. I decided to look for a job. When I looked in the paper, my eyes landed on a ‘Driver Wanted' ad for Covenant Transport. That was kind of unusual since I don't drive. I realized that God was speaking to me that moment and that my miracle is just around the corner and I should never give up. God is awesome.” (California) "In Australia, we have no Covenant Transport trucks. I read each week how powerfully God uses trucks to encourage standers, and am more in love with God for it. In Australia, we have no Covenant Transport trucks. This week as I drove the streets near my home, a very large semi-trailer was driving towards me. Across the front of it was a sign that simply said 'The Resurrection.' I smiled at the impossibility of that truck being there, but realized that what God did for Christ - and will do with the same power in my marriage - is also seen as impossible by some. I see it as a miracle awaiting it's chosen time. And this week I saw my beautiful husband for the first time in months. The effort that he went to, to see me for a few hours, was amazing. He downplayed my gratefulness, saying that it was completely worth the effort. It is resutrection power at work." (Australia) “When I read the Saturday testimonies I smile when there is a sighting of a Covenant Transport truck. Well, I got mine recently. No, it wasn't a Covenant truck. Instead it was a sign in the shopping mall which read in Spanish, 'He is worth waiting for.' Thank you Jesus, from sunny Panama.” (Panama) “Almost every week, the enemy wants me to give up my stand, but God shows me something to keep going. I have seen a Covenant transport truck in the past, but locally, I see trucks and vans that say, “Restoration services”, or something similar. Since the hurricane last September, there are many service trucks in the area. God just won't let me give up the fight.” (Florida) “After reading so many reports of seeing Covenant Transport trucks in today’s testimonies, I felt led to share my encounter. Living in North Dakota, I felt I never would see one of those Covenant trucks, however, while watching The Weather Channel, a reporter was reporting on a storm out east and a Covenant Transport truck whizzed by on the Interstate behind her. It made me smile. God is so good.” (North Dakota) “In the United Kingdom we don't have such things as Covenant Transport trucks, but on a recent trip on a motorway, I was encouraged to see a truck to my left that said 'Shepherd & Son' and the one to my right said 'We move mountains.' Praise God, He is so good. Recently my cat caught a bird and injured it, yet it was still able to fly. Alas its blood was splattered over the walls and blinds of my living room. I prayed for favour with the insurance company. They denied my claim. Ten minutes later my phone rang. They'd discussed the unusualness of this case amongst themselves and decided to pay. I now have a totally redecorated room plus new blinds. What an awesome God we serve.” (United Kingdom) “I was sitting at a light in town, just wishing for a sign, not really praying and as I looked up, a Covenant Transport truck was coming through the intersection. God is blessing standers in your ministry with a sign that is really unique to us! Praise Him for His goodness.” (Nebraska) “I recently moved to a different state and have been blessed with a new job. I've never seen a Covenant Transport truck. One day on my drive home after work, a Covenant Transport truck passed by. I had felt lonely and prayed, asking God for comfort. He answered my prayer by showing me that I am not alone and there is hope in Him.” (Oregon) In the last few weeks I had begun to listen to the enemy and let old things creep into my mind that my husband had done during our marriage. I had begun to dwell on these and things were looking like maybe this was not of God for me to stand for this marriage. That maybe I had missed it again. But today I had to go out of town for the office and I followed one of the Covenant Transport trucks most of the way home. I have never seen one of these trucks. I had asked God for direction, so I am back to standing.” (Kentucky) “I have not talked to my husband in quite a while. I finally let God have it 100%. Today I was thinking about him and prayed that while I was in town that God show me a sign if He was still working. I have read a lot about the Covenant transport trucks on here and I know that I have never seen one in this area, but I promised God that I would be watching closely to see a sign. I didn't see any sign on the way to Wal-Mart, but when I walked in the door-the first thing I saw was a customer in a wheelchair. I walked on and the next customer I saw was also in a wheelchair. I have never seen it at our Wal-Mart. When I saw the second wheel chair, it was God's sign. My husband is a double amputee and is in a wheelchair.” (Arkansas) “Praise the Lord for two Covenant Transport trucks these past two weeks. I was feeling discouraged and asked the Lord to show me a truck in my home town to help me continue standing for my marriage. He showed me one across town and one nearer to my home today. Praise the Lord.” (Ohio) “After eight months of not speaking with my husband, we started to talk. Since that time we have spoken everyday. He works out of state and came home for a week's vacation and we spent a lot of time together. Yesterday I had an opportunity to tell him about my stand as I drove him back to the airport. I ask God to remind me that I was on the right path. Please show me a Covenant Transport Truck. Within five minutes we passed one. God is good all the time. He can do so much more than we can imagine.” (Indiana) “I have been cynical of standers' sightings of Covenant Transport trucks and their interpretation as a sign from God regarding their marriage. Yesterday was my turn. I was on my way home from the gym and stopped to buy yogurt. I finished the yogurt and exited the car to dispose of the trash. As I walked to the bin, there was a Covenant Transport truck gliding by. The road runs through a built-up neighborhood and is not frequented by big rigs. As I pulled out of the driveway of the restaurant, I saw a license plate that bore my husband's and my initials. Coincidence or is it a gentle reminder from God that marriage is a covenant that is not to be taken lightly or broken even when the other party defaults?” (New Jersey) “This past weekend, traveling home from Miami, I was feeling a little bit discouraged about my stand for our marriage. Then I remembered from other testimonies how people had prayed about seeing a Covenant Transport truck in order to affirm their stand. Almost immediately a Covenant Transport truck passed by me. I drove the rest of the way home with a smile on my face and hope in my heart. As I neared Orlando, my prodigal called and asked me to go get something to eat with her. God, for even when we least expect an answer, He is always faithful to provide an answer.” (Florida) “My friend gave me a ticket for a wonderful praise concert. The praise and worship were outstanding. A word was offered that what you have been praying for will be fulfilled tonight. I was very discouraged, but claimed this for myself. I returned home with my spirits high. I was on the Interstate about 25 miles from home and I saw it -- a Covenant Transport truck. I shouted with joy. I never thought I would see a truck in Michigan, but I was wrong. God heard and answered His child. All praises to His name. I will continue to wait for God's timing for my promised restoration.” (Michigan) "I felt so oppressed and cried out to God to please confirm my stand with a sign. The next morning, my in-house prodigal and I were driving on the freeway. I looked out of my side and I couldn't believe it. A Covenant Transport truck. Twenty minutes later, I happened to glance over to the other side of the freeway, and there was another Covenant Transport truck going in the opposite direction. I gasped audibly. My husband asked what was wrong. I blurted out that I saw a Covenant Transport truck. I didn't elaborate and he let it drop. What an awesome God we serve. He knows our needs and blesses us 'exceedingly, abundantly, above all we can ask or think.'" (California) "I have to admit that I've slacked off on reading my Bible and praying every day. As a result, I've felt my faith weaken, but God has shown me His presence all around me. For the past couple of months, I've been seeing Covenant Transport trucks all over the place. I've seen one parked less than a hundred yards from where my prodigal wife lives with her boyfriend. I've driven past two and three of them at a time on the highway. The latest was when I had a discussion with my father, who divorced my mother, about wanting my marriage back. He was telling me that I should move on. I got off the phone with him and moving in the opposite direction was a Covenant Transport truck, yet again. Thank You Lord for showing Yourself to me." (Massachusetts) "Praise our Lord. He provided me with a job and career opportunity after being home for 20 years. Today, while driving my son home from college, I asked the Lord if He wanted me to really continue my stand. About two thirds of the way home I saw a Covenant Transport truck parked on an entrance ramp. Thanks be to God." (Ohio) "Two days ago, I was very feeling discouraged and asked the Lord to send me a sign. I asked to see a Covenant Transport truck. I drove all the way home and did not see one. I got home and prayed as usual and really stopped thinking about the whole thing. Yesterday, as I was driving home from work, I was crying as I thinking of how much I miss my husband, when all of a sudden I looked up and saw a Covenant Transport Truck. God is so merciful, He is right there when we need Him. He reassured me that in His perfect timing my husband will come home. My husband called last night to thank me for a card I had sent and then thanked me for the new woman I was becoming. Praise the Lord." (New Jersey) "I woke up yesterday morning and prayed for God's love and guidance. As I prepared for the day, I was given a thought of telling my wife about my stand for our marriage. Then I read Bob's devotional and how much it impacted him when Charlyne told him she would be waiting and praying until she was old and in a rocking chair. I then asked God to lead me if it was His will was for me to tell my wife. At lunch, sitting at the park, I looked up as a Covenant Transport truck drove by. It was the first time I've ever seen one. God, I am trusting in You. If my wife calls tonight I will tell her. At 8:00 P.M. that night the phone rang and it was my wife. I about fell off my chair. She now knows of my stand, but had no idea before I told her. She was pretty much speechless. I'm just trusting God that it was time for my wife to know and that He does speak. May our stands bring many souls home to God and home to their families." (Michigan) “On my drive to work I was praying and crying out to the Lord to forgive me for entertaining thoughts of giving up. I heard His voice speaking to me that He will never leave me nor forsake me, and giving me words of encouragement that He that is in me is greater than He that is in the world ,and that I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. I was thanking Him for giving me the hope and encouragement I needed. Just then I looked to my right and saw a Covenant Transport Truck. I just started crying and thanking God! I am so undeserving, yet He shows me so much love and understanding.” (Texas) “I had to stop by my prodigal wife's new house to pick up a check. I felt sad seeing the house and I put one of Charlyne's tapes, “A Damascus Road Experience”, in my car stereo. I turned back on to a main street and there was a Covenant Transport truck right behind me! Things didn't end there. Previously, my prodigal asked me to pick up something at her office. While there, she invited me to the movies to see a romantic comedy and offered me a part-time job. I thank God for His providence.” (Massachusetts) “After dropping off my daughter to return to college, I was struggling with our conversation and my attempt to explain my stand for the family and my prodigal spouse. Did I say too much? Would she understand the scriptures about the marriage covenant? Doubt began to creep in as I was trying to merge into traffic on the Interstate. A truck would not move over out of lane. God knew because as I came within a few feet of this truck I saw in the dark of night large letters saying Covenant Transport. Out of thousands of miles of highway, we met at that on-ramp. Only the Lord could orchestrate this. What a confirmation of what I had shared with my daughter. He is so faithful.” (Ohio) “I would like to say praise the Lord. I can't praise Him enough for His strength, His love, and His peace He gives to me. My prodigal calls daily. I have had a peace lately about my marriage restoration. Today while at work, I looked out the window of my office. Just as looked out, a Covenant Transport truck was passing by. One second sooner or later and I would not have seen it. God allowed me to look up at the perfect time. Seeing this truck is very odd because since I have been reading about all the standers that have been seeing these trucks, I have been looking for them for months and have failed to see even one.” (Georgia) “Our Lord is faithful and good. When driving back to my home after spending Christmas at my parents, I thought to myself, it would be nice to see one of those Covenant Transport trucks as a sign that God has not forgotten me. I don't think I've ever seen one before, so I thought that's not going to happen. Half-way through the trip, I noticed a billboard for Coventry Health. Nice, I thought, but not quite what I was looking for. Then, as I approached my exit off the interstate near the end of my drive, going the opposite direction on the Interstate was a Covenant Transport truck. God is faithful. I began sobbing as I praised and thanked God for His guidance which I so desperately needed after a discouraging Christmas without my wife. He had heard my pleas for direction in my stand, and he answered. Seeing that truck was an unmistakable sign that God is working in wonderful ways.” (Maryland) “While driving home from a Christmas party, I asked God to show me one of those Covenant Transport Trucks that everyone talks about to confirm to me that standing is what he wants me to do. I drove without seeing one, but did pass one that had ROCK in huge letters on it and I thought about God being our Rock. After about 30 minutes, a Covenant Transport truck went by. I grinned from ear to ear and chuckled, if someone had seen me they would have thought I was crazy alone in my car cracking up. God is awesome. I pray the Holy Spirit reminds me of those blessings and signs when I start to get down. God Bless you all and Merry Christmas.” (Oklahoma) "While driving home, I asked God to show me one of those Covenant Transport Trucks that everyone talks about to confirm that me standing is what he wants me to do. I drove without seeing one, but did pass one that had ROCK in huge letters on it and I thought about God being our Rock. After about 30 minutes, a Covenant Transport truck went by. I grinned from ear to ear and chuckled, if someone had seen me they would have thought I was crazy alone in my car cracking up. God is awesome. I pray the Holy Spirit reminds me of those blessings and signs when I start to get down. God Bless you all and Merry Christmas." (Oklahoma) "So many times I've read my Charlyne Cares devotional from you and it has been exactly what I needed to be strong and to wait patiently. I am in this for good. I read a recent report from the stander who saw several Covenant Transport trucks and was encouraged. I was getting gas one day and thought to myself that would really be neat to see one of those trucks. As I finished filling the tank, a truck pulled in. It wasn't a Covenant truck, but in large truck size letters was ROCK leasing. It took a moment to sink in! Thank You, God." (Indiana) "Saturday in my car I got a cell call from my prodigal wife. I heard her boyfriend explaining to her what she needed to tell me. I was extremely mad over this, but I kept my cool and finished talking. I then asked God, "If you still want me and her together, please allow a Covenant Transport truck to cross my path because I am truly downtrodden." Five minutes later, I stopped at a tollbooth. The truck I asked God for was right there at the tollbooth going in the opposite direction. Praise God! I can't believe it, but He heard me. Later that evening, God put it in my heart to read the book of Hosea. I almost lost it when I read Hosea 2:6-7. God showed me He's working little by little in my wife's life. Praise Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins." (Massachusetts) “I was driving home and feeling so alone, and I hurting so bad. It had been another tough week and I cried out, 'Dear Father, I really need a hug from You right now. Please Lord, send me a Covenant Transport truck to show me that You are not angry with me, and that You are indeed moving in my beloved's heart, and to show me that my marriage will indeed be restored.' I have rarely seen these trucks on this road, so I knew that it would truly be a hug from my Heavenly Father to see one. A half hour went by and I saw four trucks! My dear Heavenly Father sent me not one, but four assurances that He was and is the great I Am.” (Indiana) "My prodigal is in a non-covenant marriage, but he bought school clothes for my son. Also, when my son re-joined football, his Dad paid the fee for equipment. On the way down to a game, I was with a Christian friend. All of a sudden, a Covenant Transport truck drove right in front of us! I have heard of a lot of standers seeing these trucks, but it was the first time I have seen one." (Florida) "I listen to Charlyne's tapes on my way to work and back, 45 minutes each way. One tape said to take signs from the Lord as a nugget regarding restoration of our marriages. After a week of discouraging circumstances, I was driving and turned my head to see a white van which said 'Rainbow Restoration and Cleaning.' A few weeks ago a Covenant Transport tractor trailer truck was parked at the Home Depot for almost a week." (New York) "I was required to attend a training seminar for my company. This trip was taking me out of my comfort zone. As I traveled, I passed one of those Covenant Transport trucks and couldn't help but think about how many times I had read about other standers being encouraged by them in their stand. I feel more confident then I have in years because I knew that today was more then just attending a meeting. It was another step in changing me. I have learned that even in that 'discomfort' to have faith and trust God as He continues to work in my life. For all things work together for good." (Missouri) “I had been reading in the Saturday testimonies about the Covenant Transport trucks people have seen. I didn't think they were in my area of the country. Then, on my way to a conference, they were all over the place. I must have seen ten of them, and other trucks as well, with names like 'United,' 'Grace,' 'Sunrise,' 'Go Forward,' and 'Promise.' I think this was God's way of telling me, ‘Keep on Truckin'!” (Nebraska)
