BUS UPDATE

I appreciate everyone who has been praying for the opportunity we have to purchase a motor home.  Many have called, emailed or texted and asked how things have been going.

Let me say first that we went and looked at the bus in early September and it is absolutely beautiful.  The pictures we received beforehand did NOT do it justice.  The owner has kept the unit in great condition and doing all the necessary preventative maintenance.  He and his wife are such dear people.  They were in evangelism for over forty years and due to his health he is no longer able to travel.

As we looked through the bus inside and out it took no time at all to realize the hand of God in the whole situation.  It is exactly what we need at this point and will be a great blessing.  "Ecstatic" doesn't even begin to describe how Stacie feels about it.  She is happy about finally having a "home" after several years of staying in motels and prophets chambers.

HOW WE ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO PRAY:
The gentleman came down to an asking price of $28,000.  Our church and another church has put up some money already.  A church we were at recently took up a special offering for the bus.  Then the Lord gave us some unexpected cash and we have set that aside.  All total so far we have $18,000 to put on it.  A gentleman came up to me last night and said he wants to give another $1,000 - bringing the total to $19,000 leaving $9,000 to go.  However, I am praying for more money to come in to help for registration, insurance, taxes and a few odds and ends that will be needed to actually get it on the road - a total amount somewhere in the neighborhood of $12-13,000 more.
