Learn More About Our "On a Wheel and a Prayer" Ministry

Our Ministry began....

We where once again brought to the reality of our mortality when we lost Jenny's sister, her best friend, Marnie, and nephew, Andrew, in a helicopter accident in September of 2005.  We both love the Lord and want to be involved in acts of significance which reflect that love while we are still able.

We made an appointment with our mission’s pastor at Wooddale,

Tom Correll

, to investigate the possibility of joining the team going to

Guatemala

.  Near the end of the conversation with Tom, he suggested that we might want to investigate mobile missions.  

After much research and due diligence, we selected “SOWERs” as the group with whom we would form an affiliation.  A four month application process ensued, including two (2) letters of recommendation from current pastors, an FBI background check and clearance, a statement of personal faith, a phone screening interview, etc..  Finally, acceptance as members in good standing of SOWER’s and we began…..

We formed “On a Wheel and a Prayer”, a 501C3 non-profit organization. Our 501C3 is administered by Congressional District Programs, CDP, a “master” 501C3 that serves many non-profits.    CDP does all the necessary Federal reporting plus the expense reimbursement for a cost of 6 % of the funds processed.  They reimburse IRS qualified expenses after we submit detailed original receipts.

We accepted our first assignment to Florida Baptist Encampment for February 2006.  Had such a rewarding experience that we decided we could not wait any longer.  We are committed.

Jenny and Don,
I have been reading your blog. How inspiring! It's neat to see how God uses your life experiences and gifts to meet the needs of others. How traumas, sickness, and loss has not kept you from plowing ahead into obedience.
