Van for Transportation and Church

Donation protected
Help! First off, my team and I are in Kazakhstan. We have been with a church for the past 3 weeks now. Let me tell you, this church is the real deal. Trust me. It has been incredible. We have ran into a problem though. .  We have no way of getting to our next city so that we can travel to Azerbaijan. Haha YIKES!! All the trains are booked for the summer, flying is too expensive, buses are a no go. We asked about hiring a taxi, but it would be around 500$ usd. This is way too much just for a drive.. We have been praying about it for the past two weeks.  We want and need to buy a van. There has been so many open doors for this. Let me tell you why... First, the van will get us down to the city we need to be in at the needed date. Then we can travel to Azerbaijan by crossing the Caspian Sea. Second, we want to bless the church with the VAN! They are in need of some wheels. What a BLESSING we could be!! They have a desire to start a mobile soup kitchen. They want to bring food to the homeless and bring the homeless in to feed them. The van could and would have many other purposes as well (youth, church events, etc.) We as a team planned on purchasing the van with our own money, And... WE still are! We really have a heart for this ministry and want to give what we can. We can bless and encourage this church with this van, and also get ourselves down to our destination. After talking, we didn't want to buy the cheapest van possible. It sounded like the best plan for us just to get down, but we wanted to give them a van that would be overall worth the investment. We also don't really feel like breaking down in a foreign country on our 2-3 day travel down to the city! We have found a couple of options for the van and the pastor has been helping us throughout the whole process. We our really trusting God to provide in this way. You could be such a blessing for this church here in Kazakhstan and a blessing for my team getting to our destination. God is doing great things up here, this is the next one. My team really needs your help. We are asking for 800$, then hopefully we can pay the other half for the van! Also... we need the support in the next TWO DAYS! I know haha, time crunch for sure.  God is good! Christ is it!
