Here
is a list of our most immediate and urgent needs.
Since the focus of Goff Ministries is to reach the untouched people of
the world, we travel into very remote and dangerous places. So, our
greatest need is always the need for constant prayer for our safety and our
spiritual strength to face the obstacles that Satan my put in our way and for us
to conquer Satan's strongholds and set his captives free. We implore all
of you in the body of Christ to pray continually for the success of our mission.
We also have physical needs that need to be met in order for
us to travel and reach the lost people of the world. This is a list of our
specific physical needs. We trust the Lord to supply all of these needs through His body, our fellow brothers and sisters in
Christ. We believe in letting the body of Christ know what our needs are and
we trust the Lord to speak to the heart of the those who have the means to donate. Here is a list of our most urgent physical needs. If you
feel led to help with one or more of these needs please contact us at via email
: Vaughn@goffsministries.org or
call us at; 806-765-6224 or 806-787-1023.

Building Materials
We currently need a large
supply of building materials for several building projects at the camp.
Building materials such as 2X4s, siding, metal roofing etc.
Walls and ceiling for our main building.
The
main building currently has hinged metal sheathing walls.
Although these wall can be lifted or closed for cold o hot weather
they are not sufficient for weather extremes like 105 degrees heat
or 10 degrees cold. We have had several people quite the
program in the past year because of weather extremes. For this
reason we feel the need to close the building in with insulated
walls and a ceiling and install a cooling system.
Metal roof over storm cellar.
Last year we were blessed with a large storm cellar. This left
us with a large concrete platform that we would like to put to good
use. We are praying for the materials to build a metal roof
over the storm cellar. This will not only provide an
outside shaded area for us to use after the main building is walled
off, but it will also help the storm cellar to stay cooler during
the summer months, as it now becomes sometime unbearably hot due to
the direct sunlight on the concrete.
24X24 Cabin for Vaughn's family.
Ever since we stared the Good News Camp, we have needed a permanent
home at the camp for Vaughn and his family. Until now the Lord
has not provided for this need. This has been a great
burden on Vaughn's family as it has required him to stay a minimum
of 3 weeks out of every month away from his family for most of the
year. Until the Lord provides in this area Vaughn would like
to build a small 24 foot by 24 foot cabin so that his family could
could live with him full time at the camp.
Small 8’ X8’ Cabins for the campers.
Up
until now we have used tents for campers to stay in. Even though we
like the idea of campers staying in tents for several reason during
mild temperatures, the truth is that during weather extremes they
are just not adequate for long term living. And, they don’t last
very long in the high winds and dust and we have to buy new ones
every month, which cost quite a bit. I would like to build at least
four 8 foot by 8 foot cabins for campers to stay in. This year I
experimented with trying to make adobe block from our soil to reduce
the cost of building this cabins, but unfortunately I had no
success. I am still praying I can someday make adobe work for us
because of it’s economics and eco benefits, but for the time being I
may to resort to building some simple shed like structures out of
conventional materials.

Pickup Truck
We are in need of a good
dependable truck for The Good News Camp. It does not have to be
a new truck or even cosmetically great, just be mechanically sound. It
is need for use around camp like hauling firewood and building materials
from town. We currently have nothing to haul anything in and this has
hindered us from completing several projects we wanted to finish this
winter.

House, Mobile or modular Home for the Good News Camp.
Vaughn needs to move his family to the camp
ASAP. We are in need of a two or three bedroom house to be moved to
the camp or in close proximity to the camp. Vaughn has to spend 3
weeks out of every month away from his family in order for the camp to stay
in operation. This is a top priority need.
