Our Buses

Bus # 10 -- 1995 Chevy Bluebird, 65 passenger, 366 fuel injected, Allison AT545, air brakes.  Purchased from school district in Georgetown, Ohio, Oct. 2006.  This is the best bus we've ever had in our fleet ... low mileage, no rust.  Sale of # 17 & # 7 paid for this bus.
Bus # 1 -- 1971 Chevy Wayne from Colorado Springs ISD, 1986.  Vandalized & destroyed by vandals in 1985.  Rescued, restored, and converted into a mobile chapel in 1986.  Since then, we have traveled from the Gulf coast to Maine in this bus, preaching Christ as Savior, and helping hurting people recover.
1993 Chevy Van converted to our new luggage trailer.
Restored 24' farm hay hauler;  now our hayride trailer.
Bus # 26 -- 1985 Bluebird All American, 90 passenger, HD 427 engine, Allison 643 transmission, air brakes.  New engine, transmission, brakes, and seats!  Ironically, this bus began life as a Wood County school bus in West Virginia.  We purchased it from a charter bus company in Atlanta, GA in August, 2007.
Bus # 24 -- 1985 Chevy Bluebird -- 366, auto, air brakes.  Bought the first time in 1993 for Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church.  Bought again with a blown engine in 2002 for our local ministry.  2-week conversion to an operational mobile shower unit for youth programs and disaster relief events.
1976 Jeep DJ -- Post Office Jeep.  Modified for disaster relief response and as a tow vehicle for delivering multiple buses to event locations.
1964 Chevy truck, modified to cook for hundreds at special events.  Tank is from a train locomotive.

We are classified by the United States Department of Transportation as a PMCP non-business (US DOT -- Private Motor Carrier of Passengers Non-Business).

 

All of our transportation is a free outreach ministry to the people we serve.

 

Our buses and drivers meet US DOT regulations.  We also follow NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) recommendation bulletins for safer school bus transportation.

 

Since 1996, DOT has regulated all private bus transportation across America.  We believe this is a good thing and should be enforced.  God's people deserve the best transportation, not the junky unprofessional leftovers.

 

We perform background checks, drug testing, and qualify all drivers by license, current medical card, and driving test.

 

During 2004, we traveled over 10,000 miles locally and from the Texas / Mexico border to Canada;  we were blessed to travel this distance without a breakdown.  God honors preventive maintenance.

 

Please consider helping us keep the buses rolling.
