New Sunday School Bus

We are so excited with what the Lord has blessed us with!  A month or so ago, I asked the church to be in prayer about a bus for our new Sunday School route in Sunnyside.  Within a week, we ran across a fleet that was being sold in Garland, Texas.  It required a bid process, so the church board got together and decided what our bid would be and it was submitted.  It is definitely a blessing from the Lord.  It looks new!  The seating is immaculate.  It was used as a special needs bus, so it has not had the normal wear and tear the a school bus has.  The maintenance man at the school system really wanted our church to have the best and even prayed for us the night before the bids were opened!  Today, as they picked up the bus, there were extra parts that they will not be needing already loaded on the bus for us to have when they are needed.  They have replaced the batteries, there is a new tire, and more!  It is air conditioned, has a wheelchair lift and has only 80,000 miles on the Freightliner engine.

Sunnyside is an area that Monroe Bivens has had a burden for and it was where our community was held.  Following that event, they have been going through the neighborhood picking up children for Sunday School and inviting more.   This gives them the ability to really work this route.  Bro. Bivens went along as they picked up the bus today.  When he saw it, he said as he began to cry, "God really does care about us, doesn't He?  He saw that we mean business about winning our community and look what He has provided!"  It is so true.  

"Walk up and down the streets.... I have given you this city," the Lord said.  Now we have a way to pick more of them up and bring them where they can find LIFE!  Pray that we continue to follow Him.
