Greetings ministry partners, family, and friends,
I would like to take a few moments to tell you what God has been doing with The Master’s Transport Ministry from the high volume of transports, current operations, and current needs.
We have been blessed with up to 10 regular volunteer drivers. Although not all drivers are available all the time, we have seen a large increase in the number of available drivers over the past few months. Last week for example we had a total of nine drivers who assisted transporting 23 cancer fighters and six additional persons who must use a wheelchair. Most of those 29 people had multiple appointments on multiple days. It is truly amazing to see God use His ministry in such a way.
A couple weeks ago I was transporting a cancer fighter to her appointment. She explained to me that she almost gave up because transportation was too difficult and too expensive. She then said that her social worker promised to find help. Cancer Support Services and Master’s Transport teamed up and have helped this cancer fighter continue on now for the past few months. She credits that collaboration for saving her life. That is just one example of comments we hear from our passengers on a regular basis. It is truly amazing to see God using His ministry in such a way.
Normally this is the time of year we are gathering sponsors and support for our Courageous Carriage golf tournament fundraiser. This year however, we decided to end the annual golf tournament because it was getting too time-consuming at a time when we are focusing on helping as many people as possible. We will not attempt an actual fundraiser this fall and wait until tomato plant sales in the spring to start fundraising once again.
Our biggest need is prayer for wisdom, guidance, and safety. Another extreme need, is maintenance and maintenance funds. Given that most Americans drive an average of 13,000 miles per year and get a new car every 5 years, we should be purchasing a new car every year. We drive 100,000 to 120,000 miles every year. That is in addition to the many volunteer miles driven by our wonderful team of volunteers. We have one car that is down due to failed fuel injectors that ultimately destroyed the engine when the injectors were replaced (the bad injectors wore the cylinders out and caused the rods the break through the lower engine block). The cost to repair the car is approximately $10,000 with the current market to replace with a used engine or purchase a new engine block and transfer everything else from the old block.
We cherish your support of this vital community resource and the continuing works of God. If you are able to help us meet this need, please use our web site www.masterstransport.org to make a donation or send a check to Master’s Transport, 217 Old Evans Rd, Martinez, GA 30907. Feel free to contact me for any questions or details you may need.
Thank you,
