Across China, Pastor Yin Hongtao faithfully travels to encourage congregations, mentor leaders, and strengthen the church. His ministry depends on reliable transportation, but increasing costs and an aging vehicle have made this more difficult. 

Right now, there is a unique opportunity! A Chinese government program is offering significant subsidies to replace older vehicles with new electric ones which reduces emissions while improving affordability. Through this program, Pastor Hongtao can purchase a new electric vehicle for $18,500 CAD. 

This is more than a vehicle. It is Pastor Hongtao’s tool for ministry. 

An electric vehicle will allow Pastor Hongtao to: 

• Visit congregations and leaders more frequently and reliably 

• Travel longer distances with lower operating costs 

• Participate in a shared witness of care for creation through reduced emissions 

Your gift will directly support this practical and forward-looking investment in ministry. By contributing, you are helping sustain relationships, strengthen the church, and embody a commitment to God’s creation. 

Will you help us reach our goal of $18,500? 

Together, we can ensure Pastor Hongtao continues his vital work—connecting communities, nurturing faith, and witnessing to peace.
