This week has been one of organizational soul searching. After 17 months in our headquarters, many awesome things have happened but we still have trouble identifying our focus. After talking with our team, consulting with one of our consultants and supporters and prayerfully considering the options we as a board had concluded that maybe it was time to close the headquarters. We could downsize and pull back and try to clarify the vision. After discussing it with nine people Kevin and I were getting ready to end the lease in December. However God made it clear He had other plans. A businessman said he didn't think it was time for us to close the headquarters. He helped us identify some of what we needed. Then he said, I so believe in what you are doing that I am going to cover the next eight months of your rent and then we will reevaluate the situation. I (Alice) left the meeting with this businessman speechless. So much so that Kevin said, "I've never seen you speechless. This is kind of fun to watch."
One of the needs we have is for volunteers who can keep the building open so others can come into work. It would not require mechanical skills but more receptionist type skills. If you or someone you know would be interested in volunteering in this way please contact our office at 630-510-1005 or email us at info@hiswheels.org. In the meantime please rejoice with us in how God has chosen to make His plan clear. Pray for clarity, direction, discernment and wisdom.
