Shipping Container

Great news!

Our team will be partnering with one from Birmingham, Alabama to ship a container full of the goods that we will need to be effective in our mission. Our plan is to ship from New Orleans and our target ship date will be in late April or early May….stay tuned for more on the ship date.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will use this web site to notify you of the targeted items for the container. Right now I can tell you that our desire will probably not include large quantities of clothing. Our warehouse in Tegucigalpa is already fairly full of many clothing items so, we will utilize our container space for other items. The clothing exception would be NEW or near NEW Shoes. We would like to have really nice shoes for the children on the mountain (socks too!). The TORCH shoe store is a great day and fun ministry – we’ll use the shoes for this.

If you have suggestions for container items, let me know. Keep in mind of one thing that we all need to preach on - everything we ship will be given in the name of Jesus and as Matthew 25 says it is just like personally giving to Jesus. We need to remind people of a simple rule – “NO JUNK FOR JESUS”.

Thanks

Marc
