God's Provision!!- updated 3/13



Many of you know that we have been praying for a short bus (and are STILL praying for an SUV to replace the Montero that is not SOLD) for a long time to transport groups.  Well, we are thrilled to let you know that one has been DONATED!  (it's value is $11,000)  It will seat about 24 people when it is finished being modified and having seats added and will be shipped to Haiti in the beginning of April.  Since we pay the same to ship it no matter weight, we are hoping to use this s a great chance to FILL IT FULL of things we need here in Haiti.  Please see the list below the photos to see if you can help us by donating any items we need to fill up the bus.  We hope to have collection points in Michigan, Ohio and also in Pennsylvania near our office.  If you have something on the list we ask that you e-mail us (heartsunitedwithhaiti@gmail.com) and we will pass along your info. to our coordinator for your area.  The list is pretty extensive, but we feel God will fill that bus with all the items we need to ship it to Haiti in time for summer groups.  God bless- it's amazing to see Him working as He has been these past few weeks!  

ALL this space in the back of the bus needs to be filled!  :)  Can you help out?
