Star of Hope : we make it easy to help a child

I am asking for your help in the purchase of the new crewcab 4x4 pickup that is needed for the ministry in Argentina to move forward. Right now that ministry is crippled. Over 90% of the ministry work is compromised. Every donation matters as we reach for the $68,200 needed to put a new truck into the hands of the dedicated team in Argentina.

Argentina. For the past 20 years the old Ford F-100 CrewCab pickup has been making its way over some very rough roads carrying the love of God to the ethnic Toba people. It has done its job well and has been repaired many times. The Star of Hope staff fondly calls it the 'ark'.  But today, the engine is shot, the body has so many rust holes that the mechanic says it is time to put it to rest. It cannot be repaired again. The 375,000 miles on its odometer has taken its toll.

This vehicle carries evangelists, equipment, food, patients and children everyday.  It is a Sunday School bus, a special needs bus, a sports team bus, and a cargo truck. It carries soccer the "Star" soccer team to games. It routinely is loaded with sound equipment and trundles its way to the rural areas to conduct church and youth meetings. It is needed to continue and expand the outreach to more children and their families.

Right now the Star of Hope team in Argentina is forced to divert funds that should be doing ministry to rent transportation, just to meet the urgent and emergency needs. They have to pay $0.93 per mile, and they can only carry 3 people in the rented vehicle. I feel this must not be allowed to stand! Pablo Johansson, one of the Pastors at El Buen Pastor, told me that they are confident that God will move the hearts and wallets of His people. After all God, could move people to provide 2, 3 or 4 trucks if needed. Kenth, Pablo, David and the others are only asking for one.

The total amount needed is $68,200 and just as soon as the funds are available, they can buy the truck and put it into full service.

Please join us by giving whatever amount you can. Every gift helps.
