Rolling Through West Texas

From First Presbyterian Church-Midland ... "A generous church member has offered to match donations to Free Wheelchair Mission, up to a grand total of $10,000. Each chair costs $59.20, so $10,000 will buy almost 170 wheelchairs, and a new life for people who are home bound, unable to get to school or work ... or sometimes, even get off the ground. Your donation of $59.20 will give someone the precious gift of mobility." To find out more, contact First Prez-Midland at (432) 684-7821, or see the information below the video.


Founded in 2001, Free Wheelchair Mission is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to providing wheelchairs for the impoverished disabled in developing nations. Headquartered in Irvine, California, FWM works around the world in partnership with a vast network of humanitarian, faith-based and government organizations, sending wheelchairs to hundreds of thousands of disabled people, providing not only the gift of mobility, but of dignity, independence, and hope.

"Our mission is to transform lives through the gift of mobility to
the physically disabled poor in developing countries
as motivated by Jesus Christ.
Our vision is to provide 20 million wheelchairs."


Want to take one for a test drive? During normal business hours, visit the lobby at the Texas Street entrance of First Presbyterian Church-Midland, at the northwest corner of Texas and A streets, on the west side of downtown Midland. For $51.29, you can give the gift of mobility. You can donate by mailing FWC, calling them, or visiting their website.
