       How can I help a missionary? What does a missionary need?

      Ministry Needs List...

      Donating items to missions helps us fulfill the Great Commission. Donate your vehicle to missions.

                           Support missions, church fundraising ideas by donating a car, a truck or an old camper.


(Pending Needs)

1.  A Missionary Care/Support Team. A group of missions minded people, preferably from our home church, that we can depend on to pray, meet specific needs, stir interest in missions, be there when we need them for encouragement during difficult times and also to promote this ministry through regular meetings, fund-raisings and group trips down to share in our outreaches to the Raramuri (Tarahumara Indians). This need is of one our #1 priorities.  For more practical info on helping your missionaries, click here.

 

 2.  Children's Ministry supplies: We need help with these items simply because they cannot be found here in Mexico. Children's Bible stories / Movies (DVDS) in SPANISH, Puppets and Spanish Audio Bible stories and puppet skits, craft projects, crayons, flannel graph items, Christian coloring books, etc... Something as simple as a flannel graph is amazing to these Indian children we work with.

Contact us if you have any questions.  These are an ongoing need.

  • Those of you who have already started to gather up these items for us, we thank you so much for recognizing the importance of this need and doing something about it. God Bless You!!!

  • Thank you Dana Bailey for the crayons. These are an ongoing need.

  • Thank you Wendy Smith from "The West Clinic" in Corinth, Ms. for the children's ministry supplies.

 

 3. Financial Resource Ministry Partners: We need your help to sponsor outreaches, water projects and ministry expenses for the many villages that we go to in the Sierra Madres Mountains. We invite church groups and short term missions teams to come and share in these exciting "front line ministry" adventures. 

 

4. ***URGENT NEED!!!*** 2000-2002 Diesel Ford Excursion 4x4: One of our greatest expenses is upkeep and repair of our older vehicle, a 1995 Chevy Suburban with 240,000 + miles. We would like to retire our aging suburban for a 2000-2002 (7.3 liter engine) diesel Ford Excursion 4x4. This vehicle would be used to transport people to and from villages when we do outreaches and projects. It would also be great blessing, making traveling easier for our family when we need to take long trips. Please help us spread the word, someone might want to donate a vehicle to this ministry.

 

5. ***URGENT NEED!!!***Rebuilt heavy duty transmission: My 2000 Ford F350 is needing a new transmission. The original has lasted 190,000 miles, but is now starting to slip when I go on long trips. There is a good place in Arkansas that will rebuild mine while I wait and guarantee it for the life of the truck. The company is called BTS transmissions.

 

6. A Rotary Drilling Rig:  This is the key that will get us into the villages to be able to offer the "Living Water". Click here.

 ***This need has been met. Funds are now being raised to import it into Mexico!!!*** Click here.

 

7. Missions Home: We are needing a missions home built on the property of the missions base. A nice home can be built for around $10,000 U.S. dollars using all local materials and local people and or short term missions teams to help. This home would save us money in the long run with our rent and not having to worry about our landlord raising it every year. The base would also provide a more safe place for us to live and the groups to stay when they come to serve with us. It will provide a secure place to park our vehicles.

 

Pray with us concerning this list of needs. Maybe God could use you to help us meet one of them. Also pray for the ongoing work in Mexico. If you would like to help by donating items or supporting this ministry, please contact us. Don't hesitate to contact us by phone or e-mail if you have any questions.
