Didn’t we say that this was going to be a long-term project? I just got off the phone with Josue. He expressed the need for a pair of vehicles to be dependable transportation to and from Santo Domingo and interior Haiti for personnel and supplies. Having these designated Haiti Relief project vehicles will be a cost savings and a blessing to whatever project teams will use them for the foreseeable future. So, we’re praying specifically that God would supply:
– 2 vehicles with the following characteristics:
- four wheel drive, obviously in good running condition
- operating air conditioning
- five passenger (or more) SUV or dual-cab pickup
- 2005 or later model (DR does not allow importing older vehicles)
The designated vehicles would be taken to Miami for shipment to Santo Domingo, DR. Title, as needed, would be in the hands of IBSJ or the consortium of our partner churches.
The Lord has already provided for the costs of shipping and customs-duty requirements. And, there is a donor offering to help with other costs or purchase, if necessary and assuming a really good deal for the project.
Domestically, Faith Bible Church will issue a tax-deductible receipt for “in kind” donations. If we’re overwhelmed with a fleet of donated vehicles beyond the two vehicles, FBC will use the sale the vehicles for the Haiti Relief project and/or FBC missions, at the direction of the FBC Elders.
