WOULD YOU HELP SHAUN and MEL HUMPHREYS?
My cousin Shaun and his whole family were in a serious hit and run accident in Paraguay, South America, this last week. It left two of them in the hospital with internal bleeding and wrenching injuries for several days, and the other three bruised from the impact.
Shaun and his family have lived in Paraguay since 2003, and presently work with the Nivaclé people in the Chaco desert. Their faithful truck has made it possible to bring supplies into their tribal location over unpaved roads, get medical help for their Nivaclé friends, and supply transportation for language students so they can experience tribal living.
The insurance company has indicated their desire to “fix” the truck (this is standard procedure even when the chassis is compromised). In their four hour trip from civilization out to the tribal area, there is no one to help if the truck should break down in the future. As you know, even the desert temperatures add to the danger for most of the year.
Two to three months will go by before the vehicle is “repaired,” and no replacement vehicle is provided during this waiting period, although a dear friend has lent them one for the time being. Shaun said that they hope to purchase a new vehicle, and then sell the fixed truck in the future to help pay for the new one.
This fund has been set up to cover the difference between the purchasing of the new truck and the funds received for selling the damaged one.
Please help us to spread the word and provide help to this family who is faithfully serving the Lord!
P.S. They are so grateful to God for sparing the lives of their pets, as well!
