Shipping Container
"Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the ends of the earth as your posession." Psalm 2:8 NLT
We are in the process of putting together a shipping container for "Christ our Hope" orphanage which will aid about 100 children, ages 2-18, and church families also.
There are many needs and wants that we would like to help with. Such as generators (5-KVA and 15-27KVA preferably diesel), bicycles, moto bikes, a vehicle (pickup truck or mini bus - Toyota model - standard), mosquito nets, musical instruments, construction or building supplies and much, much more. This is only a small sample of a list of needs we know of. If you would like to donate any of these items or know someone who would, please call the church office at 607-687-3426. Leave your name, phone number, and a message with our secretary and someone will be in contact with you.
"You must each make up your own mind, as to how much you should give. Don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves the person who gives cheerfully. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others." 2 Corinthians 9:7-8
Thanks to each of you who have already given time, supplies, and money towards the support of this container.

100 Washcloths (we have 84, still need 16)
Money for 100 Plastic Sweater Boxes (we have 47, still need 53)
(We're asking for money so we can buy the same size boxes - this way
they are all universal and we don't have mixmatched sizes)
