Fairhaven Update Nov. 15, 2011

Dear Friends,
I wanted to update you all on the loading of the container this past Saturday. This made  Container # 70 for Romania!
The Lord touched hearts and people responded.  We had one of the largest turnouts ever to help load a container. Thank you!! We started loading at 8 am and prayed over the fully packed container around 10 am.
Thousands of hours of labor that went into the sorting and boxing of the contents that were loaded on Saturday.  I often tell people that this is the part of mission work that most folks never see.  Only the Lord knows how much I appreciate all the people who give so selflessly of their time in order that others may be blessed. No words can express my gratitude.  In Container # 70, in addition to food, clothing, and medical supplies, there were over 1700 Christmas boxes for Romanian children, plus approximately 300 Christmas Joy Bags for residents of Romanian nursing homes.  I assure you that none of this “just comes together” without God’s hand at work.  Only through the efforts of the dedicated people God provides is the fullness of this ministry brought about.  Thank you again to everyone who participated and contributed their time, energy and money to making Container # 70 to Romania a reality!
Container # 70 is due to leave the Port of New Orleans on November 18th, and arrives in Bremerhaven, Germany on December 8th. The ETA for Arad, Romania is December 16th.  Please be praying that there will not be any problems and that Container # 70 will arrive on time so that the contents can be given out for Christmas. As always, we pray that the Lord will be glorified through the giving of these provisions as an expression of Christ love for all people.

In His Service,
Johnny
