Landcruiser Replacement Project

Hello friends,
Here's a project you might want to consider.
We sold our 1993 Land Cruiser last year(second photo). We have managed with our trusty Toyota Stallion (third photo) and a Pick up we were "car-sitting" for another missionary. The car-sitting job is done and we really need to get focused on raising funds for another Land Cruiser or Land Rover.
A vehicle similar to the one pictured on the left
can be purchased for around $15,000.





The 1993 Landcruiser that we sold last year.

She served us well. Was still going strong with over 300,000 Kilometres on the clock.









"Ol' Reliable"
Not so pretty but great for running around and hauling equipment. However it is not a suitable primary vehicle. It has no seats in the back. It was graciously donated to the ministry by one of our local leaders.

April 26 1988- April 26 2008


Matt and Kristin Buckley [circa 1988]
This Day in History......
Today is the day that Matt Buckley first left Tulsa Oklahoma to Johannesburg via Brussels to come to Africa for the first time exactly 20 years ago!
Of course Kristin is still a rookie since she only came with me the following year in 1989 after we were married.

20/20 Vision is the campaign we have launched to commemorate this milestone...Twenty dollars a month for one year.
We invite you to become a 20/20 Vision Partner today!
