The Garage Ministries was begun in response to the desperate need that people have for a reliable and safe form of transportation. Many places in the Tri-lakes area of southwest Missouri do not offer any form of public transportation, not even taxi service. A car that needs repairs affects a person's ability to get to a job and earn a living. This, in turn, puts their ability to pay bills, provide
groceries for their family, get their children to school, and attend medical appointments, in severe jeopardy. With the support of churches, businesses, and individuals in the community, and the volunteered time of master mechanics, we are able to provide people in need with quality low-cost or no-cost car repair. This outreach not only fills a daily need in these people's lives, but it also demonstrates to them that their lives, jobs, and families matter not only to us, but to the community as a whole. People have been told all along that "Jesus cares about them," and that "we will be praying for their needs." The Garage is here to SHOW them, not just tell them.
