Grace Bible Church Mission Project:

Hundreds of native missionary pastors are without transportation making their work of disciple-making and church planting much more difficult. A bicycle is a tremendous tool that enables these church planting pastors to travel  easier and faster to carry the Gospel to neighboring villages. It is also increases their ability to support themselves. Bicycles are like a pickup truck to our Zambian families.The GOAL for this project is to buy 25 bicycles to be dispersed throughout the Hope Builders Ministries mission in Zambia. Each bicycle costs $110. Please pray and give toward this project. The Goal is 25 bicycles but it would be awesome to give more! Just think, it is like buying these pastors a car here in America! It is worth that much to them. Most native families in rural Africa make much less than $50 a month. We can help and be a blessing as well as receive rich eternal dividends by sharing with them.

Please consider a generous, sacrificial gift to provide a bicycle to rural pastors in Zambia.

Grace Bible Church will collect these gifts on December 11. Gifts can be given anytime. Be sure to designate Zambia Bicycle Project.
