As many of you know our family has been blessed to be on the road traveling and doing ministry for the last 9 years. We have now officially been to all 48 states! We live this life because this is what the Lord has called us to do and we have been blessed with an amazing amount of spiritual fruit and it makes the sacrifice of living on a bus with our 11 children, totally worth it. We count this life a blessing. Over the past 9 years we have traveled thousands of miles, ministering to thousands of people. We have held over 17 Hunger 4 Revival events, ministered at countless others, baptized well over 600 people, seen countless people meet Jesus and receive powerful deliverances, healings and the Holy Spirit. It’s been a privilege just to be apart of what God is doing. We love what we do and we are committed to continue no matter the cost.
We rarely ask for financial support and we have never taken up an offering at our ministry events. We usually taking a break from ministry in order to work to pay for the next leg of our ministry journey. This past season we have been so busy ministering that we have not even had time to stop and work. I also know that the following needs are nothing for the Lord to fill.
Amount Raised so far: $1,723.93
Current Goal Total: $13,700
Support Us!
Thanks to all who have given so far!
Below is a list of our needs!
- We need a new dual axle equipment trailer.
Our current trailer (we are willing to trade the one we have) is not large enough to hold the equipment that we need to take with us on the road. It is over burdened by the weight so we need something a bit bigger and stronger. If you have a dual axle trailer that you are not using that you would like to donate please let us know. A new dual axle trailer will run around $4,500.
- We need welding done on our bus bumper/hitch.
Our bumper/hitch assembly needs work and needs to be reinforced to handle a larger trailer. Are you a welder? Do you know someone that could help get this done? The estimates I have received to have this done are in the $2,000 range.
After all of the miles we have put on our bus things begin the wear out and I have noticed a shaking in the front end of the bus that needs to be fixed. A preliminary assessment shows it’s most likely the kingpin. Estimates to fix this run around $3,000.
- We need new audio/music equipment.
We are still using the same equipment that we started with years ago and although it has worked great it is showing wear and is starting to have issues. We need some new equipment! To replace our equipment the cost is around $3,000.
- We need a new power generator
Our generator has served us well over the last 4 years since our last one died but it has seen better days and is on its last legs. A replacement generator will cost $1200.
It currently costs us approximately $700 just to fill the fuel tank on our bus. If you would like to give towards travel expenses please notate that in the notes when donating.
Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 9:7-14
Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned? Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?
But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ. Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
We hope to see you on the road.
Onward!
