WITH THREAT OF WAR HIGH, THE JOSHUA FUND TO HELP PURCHASE TWO AMBULANCES FOR ISRAEL
We just completed several days of Joshua Fund board meetings. I'll have much to report soon. But one thing I wanted to let you know is that with the threat of a war with Iran so high, the board has authorized funding for two ambulances for Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel's national emergency medical service. Lord willing, we'll be able raise the necessary funds and transfer them to MDA by the end of this year.
The purchase of ambulances (similar to the one in the picture above) was not in our original 2009 budget. But we added this as part of approach of "praying for peace, but preparing for war."
"When Magen David Adom was established in 1930, its pride was its single ambulance, which was incessantly on call," notes MDA's website. "Today, MDA has an ambulance fleet of more than 800 modern lifesaving vehicles, deployed in all parts of the country. Most of the ambulances area attached to the MDA Stations; others are stationed in villages and kibbutzim in areas along the threatened borders. All are equipped with wireless radios linking them to their Stations or ambulance posts, and to regional headquarters."
More ambulances are needed and TJF is honored to help.
As always, we will do our best to keep you up-to-date on the kinds of projects we are doing, and brief you on how those projects are proceeding. We will also let you know about the kinds of projects we are developing for the future. In no way do we want to pressure anyone to give financially. We fully believe the Lord will provide for the needs of the people we seek to serve. But if you or others wish to help, we gratefully welcome your support, and all financial gifts are tax-deductible in the U.S.A.
