BUSES International Weblog

Unit #80 is complete.  Heaventrain is a street evangelism bus that ministers to over 1,500 children each Saturday in some of the poorest neighborhoods of Cleveland, Ohio.  They also distribute food and clothing throughout the year.  Yesterday, we participated in the dedication of the bus.  We were thrilled to see the faces of the workers as they toured the completed vehicle.  It’s a mobile church on wheels.

Visit our website (http://www.busesinternational.org/clinics/80/80.shtml) for more information and photos about this ministry unit.  You can also visit the Heaventrain website (www.heaventrain.org) to learn more about their work and ministry.

So much of our work deals with far away places, that it’s a real blessing when an opportunity arises right here in Northern Ohio.  We’ve been working closely with RAM-Ohio (Remote Area Medical of Ohio).  It’s a non-profit organization that sets up free healthcare weekends in some of Ohio’s poorest areas.  Hundreds of medical personnel along with dozens of hospitals volunteer their services to provide free medical and dental heathcare to the poor.  It’s really a neat program and we are honored to work with them.

This past Friday, BUSES International donated a plethora of medical and dental equipment that filled an entire 26ft Super Mover U-Haul Truck.  We loaded it and then unloaded it at their warehouse.  The equipment will be used at the coming RAM-Ohio health-care weekend the first weekend of May in Cuyahoga County.

We are continuing to work on phase # 1 of a Food Service Bus for We Care Connection of Cleveland, OH.  It will be a mobile kitchen that will serve hot meals to the homeless.

We’ve cleared the snow and we’re keeping busy!
