Our shoe boxes have arrived!!!

Our boxes are here!

Praise God our assigment of shoe boxes and much more arrived at Pastor Jackie's home around 2.30 yesterday.  A big thank you to "Support for Romania" for helping us with transportation again this year.  The drivers, Stuart and David were a real blessing to us and I sat and I had a nice cup of team with them before they left.    We had a team helping to unload from the huge lorry including Peter, Christine, their neighbour, Vio, Ianci and Sarah - thank you all.  You would not believe the enormity of this operation - we had 6 pallets full. 

Thank you to drivers, David & Stuart

Everything was loaded into Jackie's back bedroom.  Firstly every box had to be opened to take out the fillers in the gaps eg. a huge supply of pasta and rice, medication, blankets, items for the homeless and baby ministry, aid and much more.    Vio and I sorted out all the medication ready for transportation to the Baptist Clinic.  Then we worked until late unloading every box and stacking the shoe boxes in gender and age order so I can extract all the ones I need for each distribution.  You would not believe how big this operation and how many times we handle these boxes before they eventually get to their final destination.  However it is all worth it when you see the smiles on the faces of the children!!!!

Thank you to everyone who supports our Christmas Appeal in any way both in Wales and Romania.
