Shipping Cargo Containers
// Tim DeTellis
In Orlando, we call it “Container Day” when we load a tractor trailer with supplies for shipment to Haiti.
We always begin the day in prayer as a team asking God for protection and provision for the delivery to arrive safely at our warehouse in Haiti. My brother, George, pointed out that the blue cargo container was longer and taller than normal as it was being loaded. Thank you, Jesus, because the boxes fit snug and tight right to the ceiling which meant more supplies were on their way to our mission.
In Haiti, we have two warehouses for receiving deliveries of shoebox gifts, food, and construction supplies.
We look forward to receiving your shoebox gifts before December 31, 2022. For packing ideas visit ShoeboxDrive.com.
Logistics keep the mission running. Typically, I say it simply: “It’s a miracle!” A forklift was donated to our Orlando office years ago and it continues to run smoothly. The pallets are placed inside the cargo container and then several men repack the boxes one at a time to fill every space inside.
Unloading a cargo container is a joy because our workers know these gifts will bless thousands of children.
Recently, due to gang-controlled areas in Port-au-Prince, the tractor trailer was unable to drive through and pass safely. My brother, Charlie, organized for the cargo container to be delivered by boat further south of our mission and then drive the shipment to our mission safely. Prayerfully consider being part of our Shoebox Drive happening now through December 31. Learn more about collecting gifts for our students and their families at ShoeboxDrive.com. ~Tim DeTellis
