Alabama Bound


We hope to leave Goshen Tuesday or Wednesday of this week to head down to Alabama. Kim and I are going to donate an alarm system to a prison ministry called We Care. Here is a drawing of the new office building. "The purpose of this ministry, from its inception as New Life Foundation in 1970 and continuing in its present form as We Care Program, has been to answer the call of God to communicate His love to criminal offenders. The initial focus exclusively on incarcerated men in the state of Alabama has grown to include both men and women and has expanded into other states as well. " Check them out here. http://www.wecareprogram.org/index.html We found out about them when a friend, Anna Miller sent out a support letter because she wanted to volunteer there. She is the daughter of Neil and Emma Miller and has been involved in prison ministry there for several years now. It is in southern Alabama at a town called Atmore. It will be 838 miles each way. We will probably be gone a week or ten days. We will be taking the coach, a 20 foot enclosed trailer with our Mazda Miata and the alarm equipment we'll be installing. We want to get back to Goshen by the fifth of next month for a big RV rally. There will be 250 Holiday Rambler Diesel Pushers at the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds where we are staying. No, we don't push diesel fuel. A diesel pusher is a motor home that has a diesel engine in the rear and therefore it is called a pusher. There will be lots of seminars, factory reps and even a driving school. We are looking forward to it.
