new-van

When we started letting people know that our van had died and that we would need to replace it, we could not have anticipated the depth, breadth and speed of your generosity.  As a result of your help, we were able to purchase a van yesterday to replace our old one.  With all you gifts, the anonymous matching donor and an amazing dealer (Roy Lee at Terry Ortynsky Nissan), not to mention all of you who helped get the word out (including coverage in the Winnipeg Free Press onlin), God has helped provide us with a great vehicle at an amazing cost.

After deciding on the van, we knew that Kim & I would still need to cut into our adoption fund to cover the remaining costs.  While this was difficult, we were further blessed to discover that the van has an extended warranty for nearly two more years.  This will more than cover any loss to that fund.  As always, God is so good.

Because our old van was gifted to us and because our new van came as a result of generosity from people like you, we have decided to donate the old van to Teen Challenge, knowing that it will go on (even in “death”) to bless others.  Thanks all!

P.S. Dino’s first response to the new van was to claim it as his own.  Ah, Dino…
