Paulo and Claire

On Saturday February 24th, 2024 in Tanzania, there was a road accident that involved a large truck to run over a small bus holding about 15-20 YWAM missionaries returning from a visit in one of the Maasai villages. On the small bus, was our Dad, Paulo, and his bride of 9 months, Claire -- both full-time missionaries were rushed to the hospital in very critical conditions. Later that night, Claire went to be with Jesus. A total of 11 of them.

Paulo has recently been released from the hospital & has recovered with a medical clearance to travel again, where he will return to the U.S. to first bury his wife in the land of her family, and seek the Lord for what's to come.

Would you consider to give towards the Mataia family? Funds will go towards the post-care of Paulo in Kansas City, the honoring of Claire (date TBD), and anything else to honor their walk with Jesus, their marriage & sacrifice to answer the call to the nations!

The goal amount is just there to give an avenue for donation. We don't yet know all that will entail for this season and what's to come.
