| The coffee bus at Teen Challenge IRELAND |
HOORAY! At the beginning of each month it is always fun to see new funds coming in, At Traveling Light we love the excitement of counting the blessings you've sent us... and yes, the 5,000 euro for project coffee bus Teen Challenge Czech Republic is in!
We are looking to purchase a second hand city bus in excellent condition that we will donate to Teen Challenge Czech Republic. The bus will be transformed into a mobile coffee house. Actually, Teen Challenge Ireland has such a bus and that inspired and motivated Petr Ministr (the director of TC Czech) to obtain one as well. The bus will be used for outreach purposes: to reach people on the street with coffee, warm soup and a meaningful conversation. A coffee bus is basically the same as a coffee house, but it has wheels! It is a place where the homeless, the drug addicts and the prostitutes are welcome for coffee and where they can hear the good news that Jesus wants to set them FREE! By moving the bus from place to place, more desperate people can be reached.
We are still looking for a good bus and currently we do have an option to purchase one. We will keep you informed.
This project does not end with the purchase of a bus, of course,
- We need to take care of all customs forms and paper work
- the tank needs to be filled with diesel
- we need to drive it to the Czech Republic
- and the guys at Teen Challenge, Prague, will have to convert the bus into a coffee house
A heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped us to raise funds for this project! To be continued....
