Yeah, Heaventrain," one child yells as she runs to be the first in line for the bus. I  look for the two-year old little girl whose hand is tightly clasped to her four-year old little brother's as they walk across the field toward the bus.

A small child goes up to one of the staff,"Can I have a duck hug?" An unusual question to some but the staff replies, "Small, medium or large," the small voice replies,"Large." The child is then swept off his feet and the staff proceeds to march around in a circle quacking like a duck. Ripples of laughter burst from the small child.

My dad my Hero- Phil Batten was recognized by the Cleveland Browns for ministry for 25 years in Cleveland's Central housing projects. Click here for more info.  The story was also picked up by a local newspaper http://www.westlifenews.com/2005/09-14/browns-service.html.

One of the Heaventrain staff works 3rd shift. So she usually goes home for a couple of hours to sleep and then meets us at the third stop...this is her story

I was hungry and on my way to work on Heaventrain. I went to the grocery store and picked up some cheese, bread, and mayo to make a sandwich. After I got back in my car..I thought to myself..that was stupid I don't even like CHEESE!

The Medina Gazette ran two articles on August 25th 2007 about Heaventrain.
