AUTO RESCUE PLAN
Everyone one here in the U.S. knows all about the current “bailouts” or “rescue plans” proposed for the automobile industry. Many of you are personally involved and affected by all those plans. These are tough times for everyone in our present economy, and we are trusting God and praying for us all.
BUT, OUR MISSIONARIES HAVE A DIRE NEED FOR AN “AUTO RESCUE PLAN” ALSO. We have committed to each of our missionaries an Auto Allowance of $8000.00 to be given to them every 4 years, as the Lord provides.
Our missionaries need their automobiles. They cannot function without them. But, not only are their cars exorbitantly expensive to buy and maintain on each of their fields of service, but they also wear them out much more quickly due to the rough driving conditions and the continual use.
WE ARE WAY BEHIND IN GIVING SOME OF THESE 4-YEAR AUTO ALLOWANCES. In past years, if we didn’t have the funds available, and if a missionary didn’t have the immediate, desperate need to buy or trade for another car, he would tell me to defer paying his Auto Allowance for a future year. But, then, when the future year or years arrived, there would be additional allowances due for that year, and we might not have those funds, either.
And so, over a very few years, we have had several of these allowances accrue on top of each other. THE MISSIONARIES UNDERSTAND THAT IF WE DON’T HAVE THE FUNDS, THEN WE DON’T DISBURSE THE AUTO ALLOWANCE.
$96,000 IN ARREARS
At the present time, including the allowances which are due again in 2009, WE ARE TWELVE [12] ALLOWANCES IN ARREARS. That is $96,000.00 TOTAL. Again, if we don’t come up with the funds, then we can’t disburse these allowances.
BUT, WE CAN’T PERMIT OUR MISSIONARIES TO DO WITHOUT THEIR CARS, NO MORE THAN YOU OR I WOULD ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE WITHOUT OURS.
I HAVE ASKED THE MISSIONARIES TO TELL YOU THEIR STORIES AND THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. For example, Bobby and Charlene Wacaser have sold both of their cars to raise money for property purchases. Mike Creiglow’s S10 pickup is worn out, and he needs a more durable and economical Jeep to maintain his ministry activities. And, these are just two examples. Every one of our missionaries has his own story to tell.
WILL YOU HELP US BEGIN TO MAKE UP THIS DESPERATE NEED BY DESIGNATING OFFERINGS TO ‘CAR FUND’ OR ‘AUTO ALLOWANCE’?
The CONFERENCE OFFERING will be designated for MISSIONARIES’ CAR FUND / AUTO ALLOWANCES. Please bring as generous an offering as you can give with you when you come.
Grace to you all!
