Why Do We Need a Van?
Because Beth Ariel's ideal home in Carp is beyond public transit, a van would help Jews and Gentiles reach us—and help reach Jewish neighbourhoods and communities throughout Ottawa (and beyond) with the Good News of Yeshua and the Jewish roots of our faith.

A VAN WILL:
-
Bring people to our services
Some people living in Ottawa’s east end, west end and surrounding communities would like to attend Beth Ariel but do not have reliable public transportation. A van would allow us to pick them up, bring them to services and safely return them home afterward and provide practical and charitable relief in our community.
-
Provide Transportation for Retreats
The van will allow people to attend recovery, marriage, mens's and women's retreats, as well as classe and courses offered, as no public transportaiotn reaches Carp or White Lake (Designated Retreat Centre).
-
Take Jewish Outreach beyond Ottawa
The van would allow a team from Beth Ariel to travel together to Toronto, Montreal and other communities for Jewish outreach, special care, events and interfaith opportunities.
-
Bring us to prayer gatherings and marches
We could transport members of our congregation to prayer events, marches for Israel, unity gatherings and other occasions when believers come together to stand publicly for God’s purposes.
-
Provide practical help
When appropriate and consistent with our charitable mission, the van could help congregation and community members facing genuine needs, including transporting essential items or assisting with a small move.
-
A branded van would serve as a travelling sign—letting Jewish and Gentile residents know that a vibrant Messianic congregation exists in Ottawa.
What Kind of Van Are We Seeking?.
The van could be:
-
New or gently used
-
A few years old and in dependable condition
-
Configured to carry approximately 8 people, including the driver
-
Mechanically sound and unlikely to require significant immediate repairs
-
Suitable for city transportation and occasional longer ministry trips
A van of this size would give us the passenger capacity we need while remaining practical and manageable for our ministry.

More Than a Vehicle
To us, this would be far more than simply owning a van. It would mean that someone without transportation could finally attend a service.
It would mean that a ministry team could travel together to share the Good News.
It would mean greater participation in gatherings, conferences supporting Israel.
It could even mean that someone notices the name Beth Ariel Ottawa on the side of the van and begins asking questions that lead to a life-changing encounter with Yeshua.
Would you prayerfully consider helping us put this van on the road?
