Airstrip and Bridge Construction
Construction of an airstrip, and a bridge to easily access the airstrip, has begun on the mission farm to facilitate better air transport and emergency logistic support of the mission and staff as well as visiting teams and dignitaries. The airstrip is also critical to the work Mercy Air will be doing in providing an air transport service to the broader mission and humanitarian organization community. The synergy of the relationship between Mercy Air and SAM Ministries will greatly enhance our ability to carry out our mission in Mozambique and beyond.
Financial Resources Needed:
Estimated Cost of the bridge - $6,000.00 (this bridge will also enable easy access to the cattle corral which serves our animal traction project training and serving local farmers)
Estimated Cost of the airstrip - $18,000.00
Total Cost is estimated at - $24,000.00
Funds Raised to Date: $2000.00

Vehicle Project (Children's Ministry)
is training pastors to implement effective children's ministry as well as working with the orphan programs. Their work involves a large amount of travel throughout Mozambique on roads that, most often, are very bad. Currently they are driving and older mission vehicle which has over 300,000 kms on the odometer and which is unreliable. A new 4x4 truck is needed to continue their work as well as to provide safe travel for them.
Financial Resources Needed: $65,000
