An Answer to Prayer

Gallatin has taken out a loan for us so that we can go ahead and buy the truck! Some of the loan we will be fundraising to pay back, and some of it will be paid back by Gallatin as their one-time contribution to us. We are thrilled to be able to move ahead on this truck, thereby saving $20,000 in the long run. We are continuing to fundraise and pray for God to provide. 

In a way it seems like a bad time to be asking people for money given the "state of the economy", but we know that God can and will provide. While many in the U.S. have lost money in recent weeks, we still have more than most people around the world have ever seen. We pray that Christians will be willing to help us get to the people of Geita with the good news of Jesus Christ, even if it means a little sacrifice.
