Starting your engines for 2023!
Fellow missionaries, the start of a new year can sometimes be difficult, to get things moving, so to speak. Because of this, MPS would like to share with you some research it has done, to help you get your engines started…or to help you get those engines, if you don’t have any!
Below is a list of agencies we found in the MPS 10th Edition Funding Guide and/or online that support applications for mission vehicles. This list is no guarantee, but we hope it helps point you toward funders that might take an interest in a vehicle request.
NOTE: be care of agencies that offer help to procure vehicles for you at a reduced cost. MPS found one such agency in the US that claimed to be connected to the Anglican Church. It required payment up front, then would drag out the process of finding a vehicle. In one case we are aware of, the missionary finally just gave up, rather than try and pursue legal action against an entity thousands of miles away.
