VBS Mission Project In the month of July, we will be collecting cans/bottles for Worldwide Mobility (P.E.T. Vehicles for children). A P.E.T. Vehicle will be available during VBS for the children to experience using only their hands to get around. All are encouraged to bring in rinsed cans/bottles to the barrel in the worship entrance in order to donate a cart or two.
The Worldwide Mobility (WWM) Plant in Holland, MI makes special carts for children in third world countries who have lost their feet or legs due to birth defects, accidents, and many from landmine explosions. Reliable surveys report over 20 million people are without mobility in poor countries, with no way to get help. WWM reflects the love of God by bringing the gift of mobility and dignity to those in developing countries who are unable to walk. With a Mobility Cart, children are able to receive an education; people are able to work and/or sell products to provide for their families; and they allow people to be social and travel to health centers.
