HELP KEEP MISSION GEEKS SERVING IN 2026
We are raising $25,000 for our next aircraft payment!

Over the years, Mission Geeks has had the privilege of serving rural communities across Zambia through clean water projects, infrastructure and equipment repairs, technical support for ministries and healthcare facilities, media production, and practical solutions wherever help is needed most.

We have been blessed with extended payment terms for the aircraft purchase, and through the generosity of supporters, a portion has already been paid. We are now raising funds for the next installment, with a goal of $25,000 in 2026 to help secure the aircraft as a long-term ministry tool, allowing more resources to go directly toward serving communities rather than ongoing finance commitments.

In many parts of rural Africa, distance means something very different from what most people are used to. A journey that looks manageable on a map can involve days of travel on rough dirt roads, river crossings, vehicle breakdowns, deep mud during the rainy season, and areas with limited fuel, communication, or emergency support.

For Mission Geeks, an aircraft is not a luxury — it is a ministry tool. It allows us to reach isolated communities, transport equipment efficiently, respond to urgent needs, and support projects that would otherwise be difficult to sustain. What can take days by road can often be done in hours by air. Every hour saved travelling is an hour spent repairing equipment, supporting healthcare facilities, strengthening ministries, training local teams, and serving communities.

Thank you for partnering with us and helping make this work possible!

Thanks to a very generous donation from a local farmer, we have been able to purchase and begin the installation of brand new upgraded solar system for Nkolonga Health Post which will power lights as well as support the use of laptops and internet for staff.

We finally received a new delivery bed, patient bed and medical trolley for our upgrade of the maternity ward! We also delivered a brand new pulse oximeter and trained the team on how to use this critical tool. This equipment will make such a difference for the clinic staff and for the women who come to safely deliver their babies here!

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of carrying out an assessment visit to Mpashya Hospital in Rufunsa District in partnership with Common Wellbeing, a US non-profit that supports the hospital's work. Established in 1964, Mpashya serves a rural catchment population of around 60,000 people. After flying to Lusaka, we travelled a further three hours by road to reach the hospital.

During our visit, we carried out a full technical assessment, helped troubleshoot several pieces of medical equipment, and tested the performance and oxygen purity of the hospital's oxygen concentrators.

Visits like this continue to reinforce the need for practical technical support. We are exploring how Mission Geeks can help hospitals maintain and repair oxygen concentrators and ensure that these life-saving machines stay in service.

We left Mpashya encouraged by the dedication, resilience, and faithfulness of the staff, who continue to serve their community with excellence despite the many challenges of working in a remote rural hospital.

A huge thank you to everyone who responded to our Oxygen Concentrator appeal!

Because of your generosity, we were able to purchase critical spare parts from the UK. While it took nearly two months for the shipment to arrive and clear customs, we were delighted to repair and return one key oxygen concentrator to service. It is now back in use in the neonatal ICU at Kapiri, where it is providing the oxygen that premature and critically ill babies depend on to survive.

We are currently working on repairing two more oxygen concentrators and are sourcing additional spare parts to get them back into service as soon as possible.

Through this project, we've realised just how significant the need is for oxygen concentrator repair in Zambia. Many hospitals have concentrators sitting unused because a relatively small fault or lack of replacement parts has put them out of action. Yet these machines are often the only reliable source of medical oxygen available, especially in rural hospitals where bottled oxygen is expensive, difficult to transport, or simply unavailable.

We are prayerfully seeking God's guidance as we consider whether Mission Geeks should develop a dedicated oxygen concentrator repair programme, helping hospitals keep these vital machines running and ensuring more patients have access to life-saving oxygen when they need it most.

A final update on Bumble 🚛🌱

What started as an old British military truck has slowly, piece by piece, been transformed into something entirely different.

There have been long days, unexpected challenges, redesigns, delays… and moments where we’ve wondered if we’d ever quite get there. But last Friday felt like a turning point.

We set up for a simple film night with a local youth group—nothing flashy, just a real-world test of everything working together. As the evening went on, the system just quietly did its job. Lights on, projector running, sound steady… and the battery? Still sitting above 75% after 2.5 hours.

In that moment, it really hit us—Bumble is no longer just a project. It’s a fully off-grid, ready-to-go outreach tool. A not-so-lean, green machine, built to go where it’s needed.

This marks another Mission Geeks project completed, and it’s exciting to see it move from workshop idea to something that will serve real ministry in real places.

Working alongside Nohma Adventure (Nohma

Now, we’re excited to see what comes next, as Beulah begin to use Bumble on their upcoming outreaches.

🚐⚡ BUMBLE IS BACK… AND WE’RE IN THE FINAL STAGES! ⚡🚐

For those who’ve been following the journey of Bumble – the Beulah Ministry truck – you’ll know this has been a long-term project for us over the past few years. And now… we’re nearly there 🙌

This week we’ve been deep in the final fit-out, installing a full solar and inverter system to power the truck when the DTS students head out into the bush 🌍

What does that mean in real terms?
🔌 Reliable power for a sound desk & projector – taking teaching and outreach further
❄️ A camping fridge/freezer – keeping food safe on longer trips
☀️ Off-grid capability – because ministry doesn’t stop where the power lines end

It’s been such a fun project bringing all the pieces together – wiring up inverters, chargers, and making sure everything runs smoothly and safely. The kind of hands-on work we love 🔧

A big shoutout to Nohma for supplying the specialist kit from the UK 🇬🇧 – designed specifically for camper systems and perfect for what Bumble needs to do.

We’re so close now… and we can’t wait to see Bumble fully operational, supporting teams as they go out, serve, and make an impact in some incredible places 🙏

Watch this space – launch coming soon 👀

Mission Geeks Project Update – Arise Kapumpe

Last week the Mission Geeks team was on site at Arise Kapumpe, an incredible ministry empowering orphans and vulnerable children through education and community support.

It was an intense week! From Monday to Friday the team worked many long hours — our longest day started at 7am and didn’t finish until after 1am the next morning — but we’re so grateful for what was accomplished during our time there.

During the visit we were able to:
• Install reliable internet access and a campus-wide WiFi network, enabling staff to access online resources and use modern visual tools to enhance teaching and learning.
• Install a 5kW solar power system to run the staff and teachers’ offices, keep freezers running during power cuts, and ensure the WiFi network stays online.

Infrastructure like this may seem simple, but reliable power and stable internet can transform how teachers prepare lessons and how students learn.

We were also blessed to have two volunteers, Peniel and Clement, join Gareth, Jon and David for the project. We couldn’t have done it without them, and we hope they gained valuable skills and experience along the way that will open doors in the future.

A big thank you as well to the excellent local contractors who helped us complete the work quickly and efficiently, and to the Arise team for taking such good care of us during the week.

While in the area we also visited the team at GLO Zambia, who may become future partners. It was encouraging to see the work they’re doing — so watch this space!

This week we begin the final phase of our “Bumble” (mighty mean ministry machine) project for Beulah Zambia! We’ll be installing a custom solar and inverter system into their ex-army truck so they can travel into remote rural communities and run outreach events in villages that are otherwise difficult to reach. More updates on this soon!

Mission Geeks on the Move Again!

One of the massive blessings of our new hangar and workshop is simple: we can finally prepare properly for projects like this.

Instead of scrambling for tools and equipment in different places, we can now gather everything together, test it, pack it well, and head out organised and ready.

Next week the team will be away Monday–Thursday as we travel to support Arise Kapumpe.

Arise Kapumpe are doing incredible work, providing education and opportunity for orphans and vulnerable young people. It’s a privilege for Mission Geeks to come alongside them and support what they are building.

This visit we’ll be helping to:

☀️ Install solar power in the staff offices
🌐 Set up reliable internet connectivity
📡 Build a site-wide WiFi network

This is exactly the kind of work Mission Geeks exists for — using practical technical skills to strengthen organisations serving their communities. For us it’s also part of serving God with the skills He’s given us, helping ministries on the ground do their work more effectively and then training others to carry it forward.

Please pray for:

- Safe travel and good flying weather
- mooth installation of all the systems
- That all the new technology will genuinely support the staff and students for years to come

If you would like to support projects like this, please consider donating to help us purchase the tools and equipment needed to keep this work going:

Thank you for being part of the journey.

A little update from the workshop!
Following our recent post about receiving our first pieces of medical equipment to repair, the work has now begun. As we’ve started assessing the machines, we’ve realised that this type of work requires us to develop new procedures and invest in some additional tools and equipment to do the job properly. We are also looking to purchase other pieces of equipment that will help us carry out these repairs more cost-effectively for our partners.
One of the first things we needed was a safe way to dismantle and organise machines without parts rolling off the workbench or getting lost. Our trainee technician David stepped up to the challenge! Putting his carpentry skills to good use, he designed and built our very first equipment disassembly tray. The tray helps keep machines stable while we work on them and includes small storage compartments so we can keep track of screws and other small components during repairs.
Great job David!!
It’s a small but important step as we build up the workshop and learn what is needed to support hospitals in this way.

If you would like to help us purchase the basic equipment needed for these repairs, or support Mission Geeks through monthly giving to help expand this work, please visit our website and click the link below

Every contribution helps us continue supporting those serving in remote places.

We’re excited to share that at our new base we’ve received our first pieces of medical equipment for repair — a real milestone for Mission Geeks.

These machines, now logged as MGER0001, MGER0002 and MGER0003 in our Mission Geeks Equipment Repair system, are CPAP machines from a hospital about two hours away. The doctor who entrusted them to us told us plainly: “These machines save babies’ lives — every day.”

They’ve arrived in fairly rough condition — somewhat “pre-dismantled” — so we have plenty to assess. But having the space, tools, and skills now coming together means these machines can be carefully evaluated, restored where possible, and returned to service where they’re needed most. It’s exactly the kind of practical, behind-the-scenes support we believe makes a real difference.

Projects like this may appear small on the surface, but they often require specialised components that are costly and frequently need to be sourced from overseas. Sometimes a single part is all that stands between a functioning CPAP and a machine sitting unused.

Please pray for skill, wisdom, and success as we get to work — and as we continue settling into our new premises.

If you’d like to support this growing area of our work and help us source parts to restore life-saving equipment, you can donate via our website on www.missiongeeks.org
