Let's Replace U-Turn Ministries Stolen Bus!!
Tax deductible
It was with shock, on Monday April 1, 2019, that U-Turn Ministries discovered their 2005, 22 passenger bus had been stolen from the First Baptist Church parking lot sometime over the weekend of March 30-31, 2019...and sadly it wasn't an April Fool's joke!
To date police have no leads and the ministry is presently working with their insurance company. The insurance has indicated compensation will be according to the Black Book value, approximately $3500-3900, which is greatly appreciated, but will fall far short of the cost to replace the bus.
This bus is an integral part of U-Turn Ministries outreach to children ages 5-12 as they reach into neighbourhoods across the community, picking up little ones to participate in hearing and learning life-changing messages with eternal rewards. The loss of this bus greatly impacts the ability for these little ones to attend the weekly ministry, and summer camps.
After consulting with U-Turn Ministries leadership, Pastor Jason Cartier and Sandy Duffy, along with Pastor Brian Horrobin of First Baptist Church, it is with their blessing and approval we wish to extend an invitation to you to assist U-Turn Ministries in replacing the bus through your donations to this Go-Fund Me account. Donations of any size will be most gratefully appreciated. It is our understanding a charitable tax receipt will be provided by PayPal for anyone wishing one.
We recognize not everyone is comfortable making online donations so the option of sending your donation by mail or in person is also available. You can make your cheques payable to, "U-Turn Ministries" with a note for "bus replacement" and mail to, U-Turn Ministries, 99 Thomas Ave., Wallaceburg, ON, Canada, N8A 5C8.
Should donations exceed the goal amount of $15,000, any surplus will be directed to the summer camp programs, and/or other ministry expenses as per the discretion of U-Turn Ministries leadership team.
We wholeheartedly believe these words from Ephesians 3:20-21, "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
