Food is coming in

Before we moved into our warehouse, we did not have anywhere to store food for distribution. But thanks to God for blessing us with a 33,000 square foot warehouse recently, we were able to receive our first shipment of food this past Friday from Old Dominion Freight Lines. Thanks Shane for helping to set that up.

As most of you know, we're working on gathering food to ship to the country of Haiti. Last Friday's shipment gave us some much-needed items for Haiti, including oats and saltine crackers. We almost have our cargo trailer filled with food, water and diapers. Our goal is to fill two cargo trailers and take them to Miami to ship to Haiti. We praise God for everyone who has been donating food for Haiti and money for us to purchase food and to help ship the supplies.

A special thank you goes out to Southside Baptist Church in Ozark, Ala., Tabernacle Methodist Church in Taylor, Ala., and Eagle's Nest Community Church in Atlanta. They have been collecting food for Haiti, and that's why our trailer is nearly full. You are helping some of the neediest people in the world, and God will continue to bless you for doing so.

If any other churches would like to conduct food drives for our Food for Haiti project, please do. This won't be a one-time shipment. Haiti is a country where starvation and malnutrition exists. God is leading us to help the people in the Caribbean, and we know it will open the doors to sharing Jesus with them. It won't just be Haiti. We will also be working in the Dominican Republic, where we are raising funds to repair a school in a poor village. And, we will be working in Jamaica.

Please keep us in our prayers as we continue our work in the Caribbean and continue reaching out to the homeless here in the U.S.
