This is a container that was just received by an orphanage we sponsor several months ago.  We are preparing another container to ship for the Earthquake survivors.  Please help us to help them. Read below.

Container Update
Our 40' Container is full!

  

God is so Good!  We have a wonderful praise report.  We prayed for so many items to fill this container for the orphanage in Haiti and God has supplied more than enough!  We give a special thanks to all our monthly supporters who without their ongoing support, we would not be able to make the trips, help Marlaine, and start the IVBI schools.

Secondly, we give a special thanks to many individuals and churches who gave so much; "Harvest International" Tom Schmidt and Danny Thomas for donating 50 sewing machines, 71 mattresses, 200 plates and bowls, many boxes of knives, forks and spoons, boxes of zip lock bags full of brushes, soaps, toothbrushes and toothpaste, 30 lbs of bar soap, & 20 lbs of sunscreen.  Big thanks to Gary & Janet Wisener "Heritage Home Collection" for donating appliances, clothing, cases of food, school supplies for 100 children, shampoo, and money. Thanks to Meadowbrook Church for donating 19 - 8' tables & 47 chairs, and to Mr. John Alvarez for 21 doors, and 15 windows. God Bless Them!


Bags of toiletries above were donated.

      We have so many stories and testimonies of how the Lord supplied all the items for this container.  Every one was truly a miracle and an answer to PRAYER!  Thank You Lord! This container was shipped, picked up at Port-au-Prince, and trucked to Marlaine's orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti.  See Orphanages for more details.  

 


     We are currently taking more donations for a new container to send for the Earthquake victims of January 12, 2010.  The cost for trucking and shipping a 40 FT container this size is around $7,000.  We need Financial Donations, Non Perishable Food Items, Medical Supplies, Feminine products, Toiletries, Tents, and people to volunteer to help us collect, sort, pack, load, and inventory the donated items.
