Buses International is a non-profit, non-denominational and interdependent ministry organization committed to seeing the Gospel of Jesus Christ spread to every nation of the world.
Buses International's Mobile Clinic and Ministry Vehicle Division converts retired buses into mobile medical clinics, dental clinics, eye clinics, emergency-response vehicles, shower buses, mobile classrooms, food distribution units and street ministry vehicles. Our Founder, Rev. Dr. Norman R. Beetler, has always referred to the Mobile Clinic Division as "the main thing" and has encouraged everyone involved with BUSES International to "keep the main thing, the main thing". Building mobile ministry vehicles is at the heart of the original vision God gave Norm back in 1988 and remains at the heart of what we do today.
We Care Connection and Buses International have partnered together to renovate an old schoolbus donated to We Care Connection in 2008.
Each ministry unit is designed and built at an approximate cost of $15,000.00 to $75,000.00 (or more). Since each bus is unique and designed for a specific purpose, costs vary from bus to bus. Once completed, the units are donated to established ministries, missionaries or other outreach organizations in various countries to assist them in meeting the needs of the poor and sharing the love of Jesus Christ in the area. They, in turn, assume the responsibility of operating and maintaining the unit.
By the end of March, Buses International will have completed phase #1 of a Food Service / Street Ministry Bus. This bus will be used by We Care Connection in Cleveland, OH, to feed and minister to the homeless. This project has been broken into five phases. Each phase will be completed as the funds become available.
Starting in April, the bus will be placed into service. Each new phase will add another dimension and ministry capability to the bus.
