No... we aren't leaving quite yet, but God has offered us the amazing opportunity to send our belongings to
West Africa on a container scheduled to ship from the US in mid-March.
Normally missionaries pack up as they are leaving the states but God is
opening this door a bit sooner for our family. Though the planning and
preparation has been a bit fast paced we are grateful for this blessing!
We have spent hours consulting with fellow missionaries as we have
carefully considered what is needed to live in West Africa. We will NOT
be shipping appliances or furniture as all of these things can be
either bought or made in country. We do however have a growing list of
kitchen items, linens, and tools. Some of our friends and supporters
have watched this process and have urged us to publish our list of
needs so that they might have a part in helping us to gather these
items. After careful consideration we have used an online registry
website to complete our list. If you or your church would like to help
us we would be grateful. The time is short. We will be helping to pack
the container in SC between March 23-25.
Right now the registry website will direct all items to be shipped to
Indiana where we will pack our home and transport everything to South
Carolina in early March.
If you would like to help us we have provided a link to the registry on the right. We will need the items in the next couple weeks so that they are ready for packing.
