Field Vehicle: We have now had $1,100.00 promised. We are grateful. We need $16,000.00 more. This is vital if we are to be effective in reaching Port Vila.

Supplies: Some of you have expressed a desire to help with books, crayons or supplies for the school and church ministries. We are organizing our container and need to have the supplies as soon as possible where we can organize our customs exemption for school books, etc. We especially need Bob Jones or Abeka books 3rd thru 6th grade. Send to 720 E. Kearney, Springfield 65803 as soon as possible.

Shipping: We need about $2,000 more to ship our container.
