What about the bus? Enngonia and Weilmoringle- Part 3

 “Hi. It’s Julie.”

“Where are you?”

“In the car, on the way to Hillston. Did you hear about the miracle?”*

‘The one in the change room?

“What change room?”

So she hadn’t heard all about that one.

Julie was on her way back from Enngonia and Weilmoringle. She was reporting in that it had all gone very well and to tell me about the latest miracle. This one involved a church, a club and a nun and a bus.

Pymble church has been working closely for some time with the primary school at Enngonia. They had wanted to be involved in rural ministry and Julie had linked them up with Enngonia School. The latest project was to obtain the new school bus and they had enlisted the help of the Variety club who agreed to come up with a third of the money. Pymble and the Enngonia community were to find the other $32,000. What can God do? There’s not a lot of money in Enngonia.

Pymble had started their campaign but were wondering where to get so much money when Margo  from Pymble got her change room phone call. While trying on a jumper her mobile rang. It was UnitingCare offering $10,000 dollars to put toward the bus. UnitingCare, through the 2% Development Fund, had heard the story of the need for the bus and decided to help. With this money and another $10,000 contributed from their church Pymble had only $12,000 to find to fund the bus.
 This is where the Nun comes in. 
As you know, she had been in Enngonia, with Julie that week drumming, and when Margo rang Enngonia to tell Julie about the $20,000, Sister Leone wandered off quietly to make a phone call.

“We can supply the balance of what you need but won’t you need money for rego etc ? We’ll supply $15,000 to cover that as well.”(God can do.) Enngonia had the bus and more.

It’s at this stage you start to feel as if you’re living in the New Testament.

*For those of you worried about road safety, Julie has a hands free phone in the car. She can make calls in the car and this leaves her free to meet as many people as she can once she gets into a town. And -yes, her life is nearly always like this. That’s why she loves the job!

The community is still raising the money needed for a covered trailer and a car port but the end is in sight!
