So here's an update...
The van will be fixed. Don't know when because we live in the middle of nowhere and parts are hard to come by, but as soon as parts are found, it will be fixed.
In the mean time, our generous church family is purchasing another, similar, though not as good quality, van for us to use until ours is fixed. When it is, the church may decide to keep the van, but more than likely will resell it. My presumption is that we would put some effort into cleaning and "nice-ening" this loaner so they can re-coup their expense and then some.
How all this is being paid for, I don't know, since we don't have the money. And everyone involved knows that. We don't want charity and my hope is we can work out something, but everyone keeps saying "don't worry about it right now".
Clear as mud? Yea, me too.
