Van Campaign nears finish line, needs $2000 in 14 days

Three months ago we started the Van Campaign to buy a van for a needy family. It was a way to meet a very tangible need. Lorraine, who is a single mother with three children of her own, brought two more children into her family. The family of four grew to six. And suddenly her car couldn't fit everyone. She began making two trips everywhere they went. They had a need and we reached out to fill it.

But as the Van Campaign went on, this effort became more than meeting a need (We know because we heard from you). The Campaign became about giving thanks and sharing in the burden. Lorraine's willingness to bring two more into her family inspired many of you. You rose up in thanksgiving for all the single mothers (in some cases your own) who parented alone. And you wanted to share in the burden, to come alongside and walk with her. Lorraine became a symbol of those who go beyond themselves.

We appreciate your support up to this point. We're happy to report we're near the finish line!

We've found a van that will be perfect for the family. It's got low mileage and is in almost new condition. It's a 2006 Dodge Caravan with some of the warranty left on it. The dealership is willing to hold the van for 14 days while we raise the remaining amount.

To close the deal we need to raise $2,000 in the next 14 days. The clock is ticking. Will you help us?

If you haven't given yet, would you consider a one-time gift? If you have given, would you consider an additional gift? All donations are tax-deductible through Current3 Ministries.

Give to meet a need. Give to say thanks. Give to share a burden. Get us to the finish line.
