We are praising God once again for his provisions and blessings! We were able to raise all the funds needed for the 2018 Christmas container. In addition to being able to purchase gifts for the children, workers, and the pastor's families, we were also able to buy items requested by Bro. Doss and the Schenks. We were able to ship some need electrical and maintenance supplies. Medical supplies were sent for a clinic to be set up in the Schenk's home. We also sent arts and craft supplies and games for the weekend family nights. Some items for the children with special needs were also purchased and shipped.
I would like to share an example of how God provides the needs of this ministry every year. Bro. Graham said Bro. Doss was asking for wheelchairs, walkers, and John and Romans! Bro. Graham said he had two separate men call him shortly after. One man asked if we need wheelchairs and walkers. The other asked if we needed Spanish John and Romans!! It is amazing to see the Lord put this project together every year!
Below you will find pictures of shipping day-October 27th, 2018! I will update as soon as I hear that the container has arrived. Please pray the container will arrive safely and Bro. Doss can get it out of customs with no problems.

Our church, Gloryland Baptist, in Birmingham, Alabama has a ministry called Central American Missions. This ministry in Honduras is through missionaries Ronnie and Joanne Doss who work very closely with Bro. Graham Hutson from our church. Bro. Doss runs an orphanage that has about 70 children. He also has a Bible Institute that educates national pastors for the ministry. One of the ways that we are able to help is to ship 40 foot containers several times a year with clothes, shoes, and supplies for the orphan home, workers, and national pastors who depend on Bro. Doss. The purpose of this website is to provide updates on ship dates for the container and to provide you with information about the needs of this ministry if you would like to donate items or contribute to this worthy cause. We hope you will prayerfully consider helping us as we accomplish this task.

Shipping Ministry Updates
We were delayed in sending a spring container and have made the
decision to send one container at the end of October. We have
purchased two 40-foot containers to store items for shipment. The
40-foot containers keep the items secure and out of the weather.

We have recently had a Best Western hotel donate a great deal of furniture
for Honduras. They are remodeling and replacing all their furniture. We have
also had a children’s clothing consignment company donate a great deal of
gently used children’s clothing.

Christa Miller is a lady from Pennsylvania that works with the girls
and the children with special needs. In addition to spiritual training,
she is in the process of teaching the girls discipline. She wants to
teach them to play volleyball. Therefore, she needs a net and some
volleyballs. One praise she has had recently is that she has had more
girls saved this year than any of the previous years she has been in
Honduras. She is also praying for a vehicle specifically for her use.

Fall Shipment Updates!
