Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the give domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

In June, we packed and shipped a 40-foot container, destined for Kenya.\u00a0Among the 85,000 pieces of clothing, pairs of shoes, books, housewares, school supplies, and toys, are treasures that have the power to transform lives (2 Timothy 3:16-17<\/a>).\u00a0 The precious cargo includes thousands of Scripture cards, devotionals, prayer journals, Scripture pictures, along with over 5,000 Bibles.\u00a0 Our prayer is that the Word of God in this shipment will build up those who receive it (Acts 20:32<\/a>) and become a joy and delight to their hearts (Jeremiah 15:16<\/a>).<\/strong>

We prayed for a rain-free day and a team of volunteers to pack our four storage units into the container on June 19.\u00a0 The Lord was gracious to us! It did not rain, but the sky was cloudy, lessening the effect of the 90-degree temperatures on the 25 volunteers who worked from 9 am to 1 pm.\u00a0Berea and Mount Vernon Baptist Churches sent most of the crew, and master packers Bob and Kim Schultz came from PA to help.\u00a0With Bob and Kyle Soderberg personally directing the placement of each item inside the container, not a cubic inch of space went unfilled.\u00a0Kyle even got on a ladder placed on a pickup truck to climb into the container to stuff in a few more boxes at the end.<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Travel was still limited in Kenya in June, but Immaculate was able to have items from our last shipment delivered to many of the orphanages and schools in our network.\u00a0 Getting gifts from America is always a source of joy and encouragement for the children.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Other Activities in June at Serving in Jesus’ Name<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Started discussions about our annual Appalachian\u00a0outreach.\u00a0 The timing depends on how the region is faring given COVID.<\/li>
  • Preparing to turn the two containers into a permanent home for Immaculate and her family.<\/li>
  • Continuing distributions from the October container – hoping to resume in-person deliveries with “Praise the Lord” celebrations \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We are thankful for all the wonderful people who are sharing in this ministry of love with us, and we are grateful for each of you who support Serving in Jesus’ Name with your prayers, contributions, donated articles, and help sorting, packing, and transporting.\u00a0 Our God is faithful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
