Goats and Bikes

Giving Goal

$500

Provides 1 bicycle and 7 goats for one pastor

The total cost for goats and a bicycle for one pastor/evangelist is $500. As of May 2020, twenty-eight pastors/evangelists have received their goats and bicycles as they minister in their newly established church plants.

THE GOAL is to provide for each pastor/evangelist as we continue to plant churches among the unreached. Your generosity will help us help them live sustainable lives for the glory of God.

A Missionary Project

More about the Goats and Bikes project

This project enables national pastors and evangelists to continue to work in the bush reaching the Datooga people who live in areas where the gospel needs to be preached. These areas are so poor and so remote that there is no way for the pastors to make an income while living there.

The Datooga and surrounding tribes shepherd livestock and live completely off the grid. As new churches are planted in these areas, the first believers are usually women who own absolutely nothing within the Datooga tribe. Pastors of these churches have no means of support to provide food for their families. This project is designed to make it sustainable for a pastor/evangelist to live in these remote areas.

The project provides each pastor/evangelist with 7 goats & 1 bicycle and spare parts. As the goats reproduce it gives pastors an income, milk, and a place in the community. The bicycle is their only transportation, allowing them to travel from one home to the next to preach the gospel, as well as to the market to purchase food (the market can be as far as a two-day walk away).
