The Wheels On The Bus Go ‘Round and ‘Round

We’ve been praying for quite a while that the Lord would provide a mobile home for us to use to travel to and from events. It’s been listed on our website "wish list" as well. We’re getting a little crowded in the van, even with the trailer. The kids are getting bigger and now with Keith and Gary traveling with us more in addition to all their equipment, we’re even outgrowing the trailer.

Another local music group that recently retired has a bus that they want to sell. Now the bus is a little bigger than what we were originally looking at but isn’t that like God to give you above and beyond what you expect or hope for.

We went out last weekend and took a look at it and it really would be perfect for us. bus02.jpgTraveling would become easier as there is lots of room and even nice comfortable seats. And with a little work we could add sleeping quarters to sleep in the bus instead of paying for motel rooms. (The inside of the bus was converted into dressing rooms for the other group; we would like to change it a little and add a few bunk beds.) Plus the underside of the bus has plenty of storage to keep all of our equipment in.

Believe me, we’ve checked around. And we are going to try to keep it here at our house. In order to do that we’ll need to do a little work to make room but it should be feasible.

If we make the decision to buy this bus, we’ll schedule a fundraising concert sometime next month or so where everyone will get to see it. If you want to be part of the event be sure we have your email address or mailing address and we’ll send you more information.
