Help us meet the needs of AIDS orphans, and of displaced and starving families.

Tractors For Our Daily Bread is a non-profit ministry dedicated to providing agricultural support to missions around the world. Since 1994 we have placed over 30 tractors at the following locations:

* Transformation Education, Sierra Leone
* Fairfield Childrens Home, Zimbabwe
* Hunnington Christian Retreat, Zimbabwe
* HIS Servants Ministries, Belize, Central America
* Natural Products International, Thailand
* Africa University, Zimbabwe (5)
* Edens Childrens Village, Zimbabwe (2)
* Nigeria (7)
* Bump Ministries, Juarez, Mexico
* Alpha Childrens Christian Home, Perry, KS
* King Solomon Camp, Solomon, KS
* Tomashinga Lutheran Christian Camp, Junction City, KS
* Spanish American Evangelical Ministry, El Paso, TX
* Vida Nueve Ministries, Pedras Negras, Mexico (2)
* Castillo Ministries, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
* Mark Northrup Ministries, Satillo, Mexico
* Skills Training Center, Zimbabwe (2)
* 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).
