Seeking Prayers for a Vehicle

We are seeking a vehicle and would LOVE prayer support! We need a vehicle for transportation of our family of 13 and also for hauling building materials and team members. Vehicles are incredibly expensive in Haiti, but the issues with customs and inability of importing a vehicle without it potentially getting held in customs leaves us in a position to have to pay exorbitant prices locally.

Another challenge is the inability of getting parts or repair work on vehicles. We have spoken to the ministry and various missionaries who have advised us to be very cautious buying a used vehicle here due to inability to repair the vehicle and just how damaging the terrain is on a vehicles. So.....for the first time in our lives we are praying about a new vehicle (which we have never owned before). It appears the most reasonable good quality vehicle that has the potential to haul what we need it to haul is the Kia 2700 4x4 truck which sells for $26,500. We hope to put a rack in the back where the kids (and team members) could hang on and also have plenty of room for various building supplies, medical supplies, rice, beans, etc.

Please join us in prayer regarding the details of purchasing this vehicle. We have designated $15,000 of our personal funds for this vehicle (we recently sold our farm house in Oregon- praise God!!), but need to raise the remaining $11,500 to buy the vehicle.
