I want to welcome  Garvin Wilderness Products  as the newest sponsor of Mission For Hope. I truly appreciate their support & encouragement. Thank you!  #waituntilyouseewhatscoming #garvinwildernessrack 

Just want to welcome Hot Logic  as  Mission For Hope  newest sponsor. If you follow me on social media you know this is how I cook yummy food on the road so I don’t have to break out my bulky two burner stove when I get into the woods late at night.  You’ll have a chance to win one of these at one of the 5 fundraising things I will be doing in May including a fundraiser Wahlbugers in Lynnfield, MA. 

Shepherds Cup made another friend today. #shepherdscup #missionforhope #jeeps #jeepers 

This morning I went for a spring ride with New Life Riders Chapter #763 of the Christain Motorcyclist Association. We rode, blessed bikes, ate and had fellowship. I shared my mission trip and thanked the group for being such an inspiration to my Jeep ministries last fall. God & CMA inspired me to create   Christian Jeep Association  and  Jeep Pastors    This afternoon they prayed over me and blessed my Jeep. 

So my 200 day trip to 30 US cities which have to highest population of people experiencing homelessness is self funded...or should I say self fundraising. Would be great if you could stop by or donate something for the drawing & silent auction. There is more information about my fundraiser at:  http://missionforhope.us/events Please help support my 200 day mission trip by grabbing a burger and some tater tots at Wahlburgers in Lynnfileld on Tuesday May 7th from 4-9PM. Wahlburgers will be donating 15% off all sales to Mission For Hope. (You must show my invite when you pay your check.) There will be drawings and a silent auction for really cool stuff like lots of Wicked Tuna's F/V Hard Merchandise swag, 7 Seas Whale Watch tickets, HotLogic Minis, Wahlburgers Lynnfield Ma & Bertucci's gift cards. More items to be added...I hope. Thank You for your support & prayers!

My prayer is that Mission For Hope will go much longer than 200 days and it will become an organization that will help people without homes locally and nationally for years to come. Last week Mission For Hope was incorporated and I filed the paperwork with the IRS to become a 501(c)(3) non-profit company. Hopefully that will be a done deal in 4 weeks. Please 🙏! Thank you! 

I’ve spent a crazy amount of time the last three weeks scheduling and coordinating the homeless outreach I will be doing in each city with various Jeep and off road clubs. The response from the clubs in most cities as been nothing short of amazing! So much energy!  This write up about my trip was just published in Colorado Association of Four Wheel Drive Clubs newsletter.  If your club hasn’t jumped onboard yet...give the prez a gentle or not so gentle nudge. 🌎 🚙 #missionforhope
