Vehicle Maintenance
Our Vehicles are put through a lot out here in Zambia! Lots of the terrain here can be hard on tires and we travel long miles to some of these villages. Our vehicles are a necessary part of our ministry and without them we would not be as useful to the Lord.
How You Can Help
Our biggest needs for vehicle maintenance are tires and other routine maintenance, although we would also like to be prepared if we needed to repair one of our vehicles .
- New tires for our truck cost $1500
- Any amount for other maintenance and repair funds would be greatly appreciated!
