Shoeboxes en route to Romania - Thank you Lord for your provision

Due to the generosity of many over 450 shoe box gifts are now on the first leg of their journey to Romania in preparation for the Christmas distribution.   After weeks of preparation the boxes were last night loaded into the large van of our friend Mark and my car for early morning delivery to the Warehouse of "Support for Romania" at Talbot Green.  To avoid 5 hours of back breaking packing at the warehouse,  this year we packed and labelled all the boxes in advance.

We wish to extend a big thank you to: Stead and Simpsons at Brecon who supply all the boxes, our friend Sheila who beautifully covers them all, The Pastors and elders of our Church for hosting the huge operation and for their patience amid the disruption, to those who make and collate items throughout the year, to everyone who donated filled boxes, to our volunteers who check, sort, pack and label at the church, Mark for the use of his van, brothers Ken and Ivan for all their support, Alan Penrose and his team from "Support for Romania" who kindly transports all the boxes to Romania, to Pastor Jackie, Vio and Ianci who receive them all and help us with the sorting and distribution. We arrive in December and then the huge Christmas operation begins.  We love you all -  God's work is such a blessing
