Wanted Used Car / Prayers Answered !

Listed below is the request for a used car...Now, for the answer to the prayer...

Hi,

Remember the request for a car for Joe and Kim who have relocated to Evansville, IN after the Katrina hurricane? Yesterday was a great day for them. Joe Wanninger from Jefferson (Joe's Autos) donated a 1993 Buick Century. THANK YOU, JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the joy of calling to say that a car has been donated. Friday, yesterday, was Kim's birthday. It was a great birthday gift to her :)

Now, we need someone who is interested in a road trip. We need two people--one to drive the Buick and one to drive their personal car.

Sara, a deaconess from Evansville, has offered to meet at a half way point. It is approximately 650 miles from Jefferson, IA to Evansville, IN. Half way is approximately Peoria, Illinois which is 327 miles (according to mapquest) from Jefferson.

Ok, you drivers, call me at 515-386-8420 and volunteer to drive. Another way some of you can help is to donate money for the gas of the two vehicles. If interested call me.

God is good, Ellie

Previous car request:

Hi,

I received a request today for a used car or money to purchase one.
Do you have or know of someone who has a good used car that they would like to donate to a family who were left homeless because of Hurricane Katrina?

Joe and Kim, along with three children ages 7,8 and 10 are relocating because of the hurricane. They lost everything! They were members of Village Lutheran in Lacombe, LA. Joe's Grandfather is the Pastor at Village Lutheran.

The family has relocated in Evansville, IN and a wonderful Lutheran church has adopted them and has found them 6 month free rent housing and has helped them in many ways. One way is that they have rented a car for the family for two weeks.

Joe started a new job in construction on Monday and Kim is starting college so she can be a court reporter and is planning to get a part time job. The children are enrolled in school.

Their next greatest need is a used car. The one in which they drove 'to safety' is past repair and needs to be replaced.

Please pray for someone to donate a car or the money to purchase a car.

Thank you, Ellie Menz
