Vehicle Report:

We ran into a problem with the customs here.  As you 
probably know there was a coup in December and the 
military is still running the country.  Although we 
(IWT - our non-profit organization here in Fiji) have 
a letter stating we are exempt from import taxes, 
the military will not release 2 vehicles IWT purchased
from New Zealand and had shipped here.  They are 
demanding the tax of $17,000.00 FJD be paid.  Although 
IWT has tried the legal route, there is nothing left 
to do since the military is in charge.  
 
Fortunately this came to light BEFORE I sent any money 
to initiate the purchase of the vehicle we were going 
to buy and have shipped.
 
God had a back up plan all along!  A missionary couple 
on the other side of the island is returning to Canada 
and we found out that they are selling their vehicle.  
It is a Toyota dual cab 4WD pick up truck.  It is
a few years old, but in like new condition.  It only 
has 24,000 kilometers on it (about 15k miles) and been 
serviced by the dealership since it was bought new by 
them.  I saw the vehicle and said we would buy it.
It is just about the same amount we were going to 
spend in purchasing and shipping the other vehicle from NZ.
 
We will acquire the vehicle on April 14th, just before 
the couple leaves for Canada.

We praise God for his provision.  ALL the money came
in for this purchase.  A BIG thanks to all who contributed.

Our next project is to raise about $2k for appliances 
and furniture for the attached 2 bedroom apartment at our 
house. We want to get it ready for IWT and YWAM missionaries 
coming through Fiji as we prepare for the coming harvest. 
Please pray about this need, and feel free to use the 
envelope we sent with the recent newsletter.

"To donate to a missionary or a fund please
 1) make checks payable to "YWAM".
 2) Please write their name on a separate piece of paper or sticky note as follows "for the support of ...(full name of missionary) in ...(city & country)"
 For U.S. citizens this is very important as the IRS will not consider it as a donation to our non profit organization if the person's name is on the check & thereby the gift will not be considered tax deductible.
 3) Mail check to:
 YWAM
PO Box 61700
Honolulu, HI 96839
Try to get checks to us by the 24th or the previous Friday if the 24th is on a weekend. Any check received after the 24th will be processed on the 1st of the following month. We will mail you a receipt once the check has been processed.
 Thank you for your support!
