Many of you who have been with us on mission teams are familiar with the 'little white truck' that Steve Hull purchased years ago. The Daihatsu Hi-Jet has served us well for many years, but is requiring repairs more frequently, and replacement parts are getting harder to find.
Our vision is to replace the truck with a van-type vehicle that can seat 10-15 passengers. This will enable our DR staff to provide transportation for batey Pastors and other community members to participate in activities and training events. A van will also be used to bring volunteers on the weekly food distribution, and provide an additional means of transportation for mission teams during their visits.
Our intent is to purchase a used Hyundai H1, or similar vehicle, which is widely available in the Dominican Republic.
Two generous donors joined together to match the first $5,000 in gifts made toward this vehicle purchase. As of December 5, we have met that goal to receive the matching funds! A huge thanks to those of you who helped us 'jump start' the fundraising for this important need! The total funds raised shown on this page include the matching funds.
