Pastor Timothy has a need for transportation so his orphans can get to school and for various trips with the orphans. He’s been borrowing a truck, but the owners now need it full time for their business. He wants to buy either a mini-van or pickup and convert it to a Sawngthaew. (Sawngthaew’s are the standard mode of ‘taxi’ in rural Thailand. They’re pickups with the bed covered by a ‘roof’ and seats along the sides.) Considering that many Thais live on about $200 per month and the cost of vehicles in Thailand is only slight less than here in the U.S., vehicles are very expensive there compared to Thai income.
Pullman Foursquare Church will match donations up to a total of $300, so let’s see if we can raise at least $1000 to send. 100% of the funds raised, as always, go directly to the missionaries.
We will have an offering container at the welcome center on Sunday. Please place your money there or in the offering plate, indicating that this is for the Thailand Orphan Van.
