I am sort of in the middle of nowhere and think that I might need an original Ford diesel injection pipe to be able to fix this. I Prayed...

It is with great enthusiasm that we write with news of expanding the work of Mercy Trucks throughout North and South America. Over the past year while working with YWAM in Pennsylvania we have helped locate medical and dental resources for local ministries and churches to satisfy the unmet health needs of those whom they serve. It has been a blessing to see how God has worked in the Lebanon Valley to link resources to needs. God gave us a vision to bring our experience of launching and managing Mercy Trucks Ukraine to the US and to multiply...
