Mission Need

Greetings in Christ from a new member!I work with H.O.P.E. Ministry at Garner UMC. We started this ministry about 18 months ago, with only two of our homeless friends attending. Now it has grown to an average of 20-25 each and every Saturday afternoon. We go out with our church van and pick up the homeless from three different locations around the Garner/South Raleigh area and bring them back to the church where they can take hot showers, get clean clothing and have a hot nourishing meal, along with fellowship and friendship from the people who are hosting their visit.Here's the problem: our church is so busy that it is getting harder and harder to guarantee that the van will be available every Saturday, because of Boy Scout trips, youth mission trips and youth activities. We do have a bus, but a VERY limited number of drivers with a CDL. We have additional men who are working on getting a CDL, but that's months away.We are in desperate need of another 15-passenger van. Please help us pray about this need and if ANYONE knows of someone who would be willing to donate such a vehicle, please contact Garner UMC at 772-2042.Thanks and blessings on each of you!
