In September of 1998, the VAN PROJECT was launched. VBS children
just south of Fresno contributed the first gift toward this vehicle. We took
delivery of the VAN early in July and are putting it to heavy duty use in
the Lord's Work. It cost US $30,000. We borrowed the last $6,000 in
order to make the purchase. In addition to the small loan there are taxes
that will come due later this year. If you are interested in coming on
board and helping to put the project over the top, please contact us at:

where Ken, Lori, Joe & Jeanie Stucky serve
had a real problem in serving the needy people of its community.
The church is located several miles from the homes of many of its
parishioners. Eighty percent of the church members don't have their own
wheels making the trips to and from church a pretty big obstacle. It is
often too far to walk, and the bus ride can take an hour each way. Going
home from church by bus after dark exposes women and children to a
dangerous environment.
The van is a tremendous answer to prayer.

Besides shuttling folks home from church, this van will also be used for
evangelism teams, work crews, emergency trips to take poor people to
the hospital and the Stucky family's transportation needs. In Brazil the
Mercedes diesel van is a workhorse. It will be a tool for every day use.
