Monthly Supporters and a Car

1) Monthly Supporters 
In Kenya we have been living on less than $1000 per month. This is difficult in Kenya and we believe it will be next to impossible in the US.  Please join our monthly support team. 

2) Car 
We have a lot of traveling to do while we are in the US, so that we can update our prayer partners, increase our prayer base and raise money for the work we are doing. At this moment we do not have a car or the means to buy a car. Please donate to our Car Fund.
