We currently are raising funds for these specific projects:

Toyota Hilux for Lae

1) $8,500—Mission Vehicle After scrutinizing our budget, we realized that every time we go to town to pick up supplies, we have been paying an astronomical rate for a rental vehicle. We not only pay a daily rental rate, but several fees get added, the largest being a mileage charge. It is not abnormal for a day’s rate to be close to $150 for a rental car. A five day trip for our family to pick up supplies really makes the rental car invoice grow! With the Team growing quickly, we foresee far too much money being spent with rentals. Currently, we have two families on the Team, and each family does a supply run four times a year. (We foresee ten more families joining the Team.) A decent used vehicle can be purchased from Japan, and shipped in to Lae, where we get supplies. A Christian businessman has already donated $3,500 of the total $12,000 needed for this project.

The back seat of this Mule folds down to extend the cargo bed, making it perfect for carrying groceries and building supplies home from the airstrip.

2) $14,000—Kawasaki Mule We have cleared out a road that spans about 10-12 miles through the jungle. In 2007, we utilized a Kawasaki Mule to travel down that road to Suwatua where we started Suwatua Baptist Church. That Mule made it possible to be at Suwatua in less than an hour, compared with the regular three hour hike. Our current Mule is nearing the end of its life. After three years of bouncing along this road, we have a worn out transmission and a broken frame. We would like to upgrade it to a Kawasaki Mule 3010 with a diesel engine. The price will cover the purchase and shipment of the Mule into the bush.
