I just returned from the trip we reported in our last e-mail update. In spite of many obstacles, this turned out to be the largest shipment we have ever made at one time, over 1,000 boxes, just short of the contents of a 40′ container! It also was the least expensive!

Due to some relationships which have been built, the people who take care of the most expensive part of this process reduced the cost. This shipment turned out to be 30% less than the last one! We were amazed and thankful to the Lord. We pray this will hold true next time also. A reduced cost simply means that much less will be needed for the next shipment.

Here is what went out:

3,600 Bibles

  23,944 New Testaments

117,600 Gospels of John/Romans

    1,006 boxes, approx 33,000#

It was such a joy to see these materials in the hands of brethren who will make sure they are used. Plans have been made to follow up this shipment with a visit to several of the brethren who are using these materials. The purpose is to collect testimonies and re-assess the need. Please pray that I will have the necessary help to make the trip.

We asked prayer for Carolyn Chambers’ father as he had a heart attack. An update to that situation is that he is home recovering. Thank you so much or praying.

I also asked prayer as I was not walking very well when I departed. At the last moment, I was able to get a flight and thus did not have to drive. That really helped me and by the next evening, I was doing much better.

Thank you again for your intercession. You will never know what it means to us.
