A Blessing to the Churches
// Charlie DeTellis
My wife and I meet with our school directors and pastors on a regular basis. There are usually about forty leaders in attendance.
We also distribute supplies to the schools and churches during the same time. When we receive a shipping container in Haiti, we start sending out the contents the very next day, as we have limited storage space. The same warehouse that holds our Christmas shoeboxes also stores the food for our schools. We have a second warehouse for construction materials.
Chad Moss from our Orlando office loaded sound systems on pallets for shipment to Haiti on cargo containers.
During our meeting this month we also distributed pastor Christmas shoeboxes, first aid kits, and 19 sound systems. Quickly, the churches who did not receive a sound system asked, “When will we receive our sound system?” I responded, “On the next container…and pray for its safe arrival.” In Haiti, we do not take anything for granted.
The gift of a sound system to our churches also blesses each of our schools for use during weekly chapel services.
During the distribution of the new sound systems, we also gave away specially packed pastor shoeboxes and first aid kits for each school campus.
God has been very good to us. Our last container of the season was shipped on February 12—with thirteen more sound systems and more Christmas shoeboxes, and we’re currently working on the release of this last container. Praise God, we’ve been able to continue receiving supplies in Haiti without any blockage. The spiritual work in Haiti is at the center of all of our ministries. We want to do a work that will last for eternity. ~Charlie DeTellis
