Transport
The purpose of the Transport Ministry is to provide transport to anybody whowould like to attend Services held at Hope Church. It is a significant ministry. For some of the people we serve, it may mean the difference between knowing Jesus or not. It means a lot to the Church as we endeavor to build God’s house.
Expectations/Requirements
• Hold a valid driver’s licence (international licences are acceptable if it is English translated), and a car.
• When you are needed for transport, you will be contacted by Saturdaynight with the name, number and address of your transportee. Your phonenumber will also be given to your transportee.
• Transporting someone to Church means that you’re also in charge of taking them home, unless other arrangements have been made.
• God loves a cheerful giver! Let’s try to rejoice in this opportunity to giveback to God, even when we get up early and drive to Nowhere-ville only tofind that our transportee doesn’t answer the door. Praise the Lord!
• Know that you may be the main connection between your transporteeand the Church - so try to get them connected. If they’re not regular to the Church, DON’T drop them at the door and walk away. Find them someoneto talk to, and someone to sit next to. Be intentional and prayerful aboutconversations in the car.
Time Commitment/Involvement
• Transport may begin up to an hour before the Service starts, dependingon where your transportee lives. Every effort should be made to transportpeople to Church 5 minutes before the Service starts.
• After the Service, you can start dropping them home at a time that suitsyou and your transportee.
• It helps us to remember this: “I have given You only what came from Yourhand” (1 Chron 29:14). My car is not my own, neither is my petrol, mylicence, my awesome driving skills, my time, my energy. Thank you Jesus, for these gifts in my life!
