* Gifts for the Nations, Ghana We also provide long term support for these tractors.
We currently have requests for help from missions in Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and Uganda. We are currently raising funds to purchase a 90hp tractor for a farming project in Ifakara, Tanzania, raising funds for an orphanage there, and working with a hospital to improve their water system. We are always looking for people to donate tractors in any condition, or to overhaul tractors for us. 100% of all donations are used to repair and support tractors.
We believe God is using this ministry to fill a unique niche in the missions field and that we are having a significant impact on our brothers and sisters in need (1 John 3:17).
