The day of our first helicopter flight into our new home in the jungle is getting closer! And we have recently received the wonderful news that our coworkers, the Lockwoods, are desiring to return to the tribe this summer. So, while we are able to move into their house and live there until they come back, we need to begin right away to gather all the materials and equipment we need to build our own house in the village.
We cannot do this on our own. We need you. Our costs are probably going to be $30,000+. Below we have listed some of the items we need for our solar powered electrical system and the appliances we’ll be using along with the costs for each item. Most of these things are only available in the USA and will need to be shipped over here for us to use.
If you would like to support our ministry by donating money to cover the cost of a piece of equipment for us, please click the “Give” link above! It only takes a minute or two and you can leave a note specifying what item your gift is for. If God is leading you to partner with us through monthly support, complete instructions are available on the “Give” page too.
