IT STARTED WITH A PRAYER FOR AN OLD YELLOW SCHOOL BUS.

I was eight years old when I heard John LaNoue tell how a $250 answer to prayer helped put an old school bus on the road as a medical clinic. I didn’t know then that one bus would become eleven—or that nearly sixty years later I would be helping lead the organization that grew from it.
