Mercy Trucks West Africa Project

Roy left Hexham on the 9th of January 2008. He then left Harpenden after packing the truck with equipment in the late afternoon of Thursday 10th. On this and further pages we will be publishing his accounts of his journey to Guinea-Bissau.

To Sunday 20th

Since the beginning of the week, Roy hasn't had any more mechanical problems. Praise the Lord! He has lost a few tyres, but been able to buy spares very easily, so his progress has not been slowed much at all.
We're glad to say that Roy arrived in Ibiza early yesterday morning. He is here to deliver a caravan he and Catherine will be using when they stay on the island.
Mercy Trucks hope to set up a more permanent base in Ibiza and begin running a YWAM Discipleship Training School in the next couple of years. A base here would also be used to prepare vehicles before they are sent to Africa, meaning that vehicles could be sourced from Europe and brought to Ibiza all year round, and then make the journey to West Africa with groups of volunteers.
Roy was also able to share about Mercy Trucks' work in Guinea-Bissau with the english church in Ibiza which suports his work.

If you would like more information about the Guinea Bissau project and/or Mercy Trucks' other projects, please email info-uk@mercytrucks.org or phone 0870 126 9120.

Please consider partnering with us in this exciting project by sponsorship. A total of £1.00 per mile is needed to cover the costs for the 4,600 mile journey. If more funds are raised, this will help towards setting up the medical logistics project in West Africa.
