New Journey For Care-A-Van Ministries

By Robin Walters

Beginning today, Monday January 18th, you will be seeing more and more of that big red bus around town. Four local pastors have teamed up with Care-A-Van to travel around the city on Monday and Tuesday mornings.  .

The above sign is the sign that will be outside the bus greeting folks.  There is  no set schedule for where the bus will be on the morning outings. Paul along with the team will just allow the spirit to move them as to where they should go for the day.

The ministry has just seen the need increasing and growing for people that are hurting and need  encouragement. prayer and just someone to talk to. Inside the bus there will be hot coffee, treats, but most of all wonderful pastors that will talk and pray with the people.

The Pastors that have volunteered their time are Pastor Mark Perkins of Oakfield-Alabama Baptist Church, Pastor Dale Gooch of Emmanuel Baptist, Pastor Larry Becker of City Church and Pastor Charlie Piscitello of Batavia Christian Fellowship church.

Paul Ohlson , founder of the ministry stated the bus needs to be more mobile and

going out more often, and more days of the week,  but to do this we need Pastors that are willing to volunteer time. If there are any Pastors that would like to become involved on the morning outings, please contact Paul at 343-0328.

Also there are many different volunteer opportunites within the ministry as well for people.  Care-A-Van will be at the local Be A Star- Local Volunteer Fair being held at the Senior Center today from 4:00 PM-6:00 PM.  Be sure to stop by and say hello!

A special thanks to these Pastors for helping get the bus rolling. A special thanks to all of you for your continued support of Care-A-Van.

As the sign says, "God Cares and So Do We" !
