Several years ago Al began teaching English as a Second
Language
(ESL) as a volunteer at the Primera Iglesia Bautista (First Baptist
Church) in Durant, Ok. His interest and involvement in this subject
grew to the point that he realized a need for additional training and in March of 2006, Al
received his Masters Degree in Adult Education and Distance Learning.
During this time he met Dr. Lonnie Smith, a Baptist missionary to
Mexico for the past 50 years.
Many of Dr. Smith's mission congregations in Mexico continue
to be
in need of pianos for their worship services. If you have a serviceable
piano that you would like to donate, Texoma Piano Service will pick the
instrument up from your home and deliver it to Dr. Smith in McAllen,
Texas free of charge. Dr. Smith then disperses them to missions in need
of instruments in Mexico.When we accumulate 4 or 5 instruments, we load
them in our trailer and make the 585 mile trip to McAllen.We make at
least one trip per year and sometimes two.
Dr. Smith can give a generous tax credit to be filed as a charitable
contribution on one's federal income tax.
We will be happy to provide contact details for Dr. Smith upon request.
We prefer spinets and consoles but sometimes accept uprights
if they
are in good shape. (All the notes play and the piano is tunable).
