Macedonian Call Foundation of Mississippi is an all volunteer ministry organization, established in 1998 by missionary parents, and dedicated to serving Southern Baptist Convention and International Mission Board missionaries who are ministering the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world in over 150 countries. We provide safe and dependable lease vehicles to missionary families who are on short-term stateside visits at a very low cost to them. To qualify to lease a vehicle a missionary must be a Southern Baptist Convention and/or International Mission Board missionary whose home state and church is located in either Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, or Tennessee and will be residing in one of these five states while visiting in the U.S.A.

Since we are an all volunteer ministry, no MCFMS Board members or anyone associated with MCFMS receives any compensation of any kind. One hundred percent of all donations of vehicles, monies, and lease payments are used to support the ministry to our missionaries.

The year 2021 has been a great challenge for all of us! Faced with many uncertainties and significant cost increases for vehicles, insurance, vehicle maintenance, and other travel related items, the MCFMS Board of Directors met in September to discuss and take action to address our current and future needs. The Board of Directors approved the following ministry changes and fee increases effective January 1, 2022. Please read the following information carefully in addition to clicking here to see the revised Vehicle Lease Agreement.

Ministry changes and increases effective January 1, 2022

1. The initial one-time up front payment at the lease signing will increase to $150.00. The current amount of $50.00 does not cover the actual costs of filling a vehicle with gas, oil change, and having it cleaned and sometimes detailed as needed. More often than not, missionaries return their vehicles without having changed the oil every 3,000 miles or rotating the tires every 6,000 miles as required. The $150.00 fee would provide for A) filling of the vehicle with gas, B) cleaning of the vehicle, and C) oil changes and tire rotations. These maintenance costs are actually now the responsibility of the missionaries, as included in the up-front payment and/or Lease Agreement. However, the current $50.00 fee does not nearly cover the actual current costs.

 
2. Monthly Vehicle Lease fee will increase to $275.00. This increase is necessary to cover increases in vehicle insurance premiums for 2022.

 
3. Beginning January 1, 2022, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Florida will be removed from the MCFMS approved driving area because of logistical issues. The newly approved geographical driving area for MCFMS vehicles will still allow our missionaries to travel in ten (10) southeastern and south-central states including Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Upon written request, exceptions could be made to accommodate missionaries who need to travel outside the approved ten state area due to family medical issues or family emergencies.
