For about a year, our mission work in Malawi has been without a reliable vehicle. This has made it extremely difficult for the ministers to make regular visits to the nearly 70 congregations scattered across the country.
Many of the roads are rough and remote, requiring a dependable, high-clearance 4×4 vehicle. As camp meeting approaches, we are praying to purchase a 2019 Toyota Hilux Crew Cab—a vehicle well suited for Malawi’s demanding road conditions and one that can transport ministers, supplies, and assist during mission trips.
The Lord has already provided a portion of the needed funds, but we still need approximately $15,000–$20,000 before we can begin seriously looking for a vehicle. Good vehicles sell quickly in Malawi, so we need to be ready when the right one becomes available.
Because Malawi is a landlocked country, imported vehicles are considerably more expensive than in many neighboring nations. Reliable vehicles are scarce, and many have already suffered years of hard use on the rough roads which is why we are prioritizing a newly imported used vehicle. Renting a suitable vehicle is also difficult and costly, making regular oversight, evangelism, and encouragement of the congregations nearly impossible.
Lord willing, we plan to travel to Malawi in September. It would be a tremendous blessing to invest those funds toward a dependable vehicle that will serve the work for years to come rather than spending them on a short-term rental.
Please pray with us that God will provide this need in His perfect time and according to His will. If the Lord lays this burden on your heart and you would like to help, your gift will directly strengthen the ongoing work of the gospel throughout Malawi.
“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings…” — Isaiah 52:7
