Extensive inspections were preformed on the new vehicles and a turbo timer, tracking system, and new brakes were purchased. Insurance was obtained on all the JFM vehicles, and regular service and maintenance were preformed. A cylinder head was replaced, and new tires were purchased for the older vehicle.

JFM Kenyan Headquarters: Building Project The Kenyan Government's building department issued the occupancy certificate for JFM's mission center at JFM Headquarters, and inspection fees were paid. The JFM work crew cemented the outer courtyard, constructed a stone wall, constructed gates,and painted the exterior of the building. The kitchen was tiled, cabinets built, and an industrial sink and stove were purchased. Men's and women's bathrooms were tiled, and toilets and showeres were installed. Two washing machine/dryer units were purchased. Cabinets and sinks were installed in each room. In addition, a self-contained bungalow for long-term missionary guests has been completed. These two buildings strenghten JFM's ability to host mission teams and JFM conferences. Several construction tools were purchased for JFM's ongoing building projects. A new water pump for the well was purchased, and a large baptismal tank was constructed, enabling believers to publicly declare their faith. A waterline was laid for the secondary water source, which is expected to be completed in 2026. All this work provided employment for 12 kenyans and helped them support their families. JFM pays 3 watchmen and three full-time kenyan employees who manage the office and 20-acre headquarters compound. The mission center can sleep over 35 people, and the hall can accommodate large groups for teaching conferences and ministry meetings; it now serves as a hub for discipleship and outreach.Tools and Repairs Tools purchased: table saw, saw blades, sanding discs, grinder, grinding discs, cutting discs,pick handles, safety glasses, work gloves, and security lights. One of the generators was repaired.
