Below are the bigger ticket items that will help fulfill our vision and mission of serving those in need and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
8-Station mobile shower trailer. Estimated costs of 140,000. If you have been without a shower for a few days, you know the importance of this type of service.
2500 or 3500 series diesel pickup trucks, estimated cost of 75,000 each. To move our different mobile units to a disaster site, heavy duty trucks are needed. Because of insurance policies, we use our own trucks to tow our trailers.
Towable refrigerator / freezer trailer, estimated cost 30,000.00. With a food ministry, keeping product safe and ready to use is important. Having our own unit to store food at safe temperatures is vital to longer deployments in the field.
