The Gospel Is Free, But Sometimes The Delivery Isn't . . .
This is John, our mechanic friend. He has a love hate relationship with our 1995 GMC minivan, he hates to see it come into his shop and he loves to see it leave. John is your typical Iowan, he just doesn't know when to give up! At 237,000 John swears he will make it see 300,000 even if he has to push it!
With Hands In Motion travelling 38,000+ miles in 2007 he may yet get the chance. The goal of this page is to share our needs (large and small) with you. Some people can give money, others choose to make "in-kind" gifts. These types of gifts are also tax deductible, often for more than their retail value.Talk with your tax/investment advisor about the benefits. If you can help us in any way, great! But most of all pray that God through Christ and the Holy Sprirt will take care of all our needs as we reach out to our deaf brothers and sisters.
Wal-Mart Shopping cards Not for shopping so much (we do get our ink cartridges there) but for purchasing gas as
we travel. Their stations tend to be the cheapest and you get cents off with the card.
A "new" Used Van(This is a desperate need) With a recent addition to the traveling part of Hands In Motion
(the Hausers with member 7) have no room in the minivan. Between two teen sons, three younger siblings, stage
equipment, table displays, camping stuff and now diaper bags and a Pack & Play crib we are out of room.
Replacement Computers Our desk top is still running "Windows 98"
so we rely heavily (14 hours a day) on our 2005 HP notebook. It's our home and road
machine. After a recent hard drive replacement, we purchased an external drive to back
everything up.
Tracfone minutes or phones When Hands In Motion started we used small f.m. radios to communicate with the
volunteers, this helped us move them from one area where they were serving on the festival grounds to another. Sadly these radios
became REALLY popular with the teens and now there is nothing but chatter on them. Last year we switched to prepaid cell phones
for those among us who didn't have phones already. Now it's simple for us to call the interpreters and tell them what stage to go to next.
GO INTO ALL THE WORLD . . . IT'S NOT JUST GEOGRAPHY

Many prayers and a few dollars is what it takes to reach our deaf friends with the "Good News" of Jesus Christ. If you are praying for us drop us a note and let us know. If you can support us financially take a look at our finance page and see what kind of stewards we are, then take a look at our needs page.
