Fall Shipment Updates!

We were delayed in sending a spring container and have made the decision to only send a container this fall.  Our warehouse tent is worn out from wear and tear and we are currently unable to store items under it due to the items getting wet because of leaks in the tent.  We have decided to purchase two 40-foot containers for storage instead of purchasing a new cover for the tent because it is more cost efficient.  We currently have a full container of items.  However, there are several specific needs the ministry has.  We also need to purchase all Christmas gift items for the children, workers, and pastors families.  Please see the list below of items needed at this time:

Answered Prayer!

The Lord has led Bro. Rick and Mrs. Julia Schenck to work with Bro. Ronnie and Mrs. Joann at the orphanage in Honduras.  They have already worked to establish family nights with the boys and are working to establish a clinic in their home.  They are also working on needed repairs at the orphanage.  To find out more about their calling and ministry, click here.

Gift Details

I have posted pictures of a gift from each age group so you could get an idea of exactly what we provide for each child.  We were able to raise $25 per child.  As you can see, many of the gifts are worth more than $25.  This is due to some of the toys being donated.  Also, we begin shopping early in the year.  In that way, we can find toys on sale and on clearance.  Each photo is labeled with the age group the gift is intended for.

4-6 year old boys

4-6 year old girls

7-9 year old boys

7-9 year old girls

10-12 year old boys

10-12 year old girls

The Christmas shipment is on its way but prayers are needed!

We were able to ship on December 2nd! Again, we are overwhelmed by the Lord's provisions.  Thank you to all who had a part in this shipment.  Because there is political unrest in Honduras at this time, Bro. Doss needs your prayers.  Please pray that he will be able to get the container out despite the events that are happening in Honduras at this time.  We know the Lord knows about all the obstacles.  We are praying His will in this matter.

We will be loading the container Saturday at 8am!  We were able to raise a total of $3,315.   ALL 65 children were sponsored $25!!!!!!!!!  ALL 13 single workers were sponsored $25!!!    8 of the 28 families were sponsored $150!!!!  Thank you to everyone who made this possible!!
