Car Ministry Update
Close up man is giving keys to woman. African american family at car dealership. Father_ mother and son near new blue car.
For the past couple years we've had a group of guys here at PBC who love blessing those in need with refurbished vehicles. 

To date, they have blessed 4 families with vehicles. Here's what one of their most recent recipients shared in a letter of thanks:

"Since two years ago this church has been a true blessing to my family with the free yard sale, a brand new bed, support at Christmas, and now a car.

After the fire where I lived, I felt a big loss, especially after my father's passing due to the fire. The church has helped me replace things I thought would take me forever to replace myself. Thank you for making the impossible possible for me and my family!"

Do you like to fix things? Want to put your skills to good use? We have cars donated to us we'd like to get in running condition to give to those in need. If you're  interested in being involved with this impactful ministry, Contact  David Fruth: [email protected].
