Since my missions trip to Haiti was cancelled a few months ago, I've been trying to figure out WHAT to do with all these OTC (over the counter) medical supplies that were intended to go with us for our trip in December.
Well...this weekend (at our Missions Conference) we met this lovely couple (Allan & Patsy Myshrall who are with Ambassadors for Christ Canada). They travel the world doing good with several of the poorest countries - Peru, DR & lots of time in the Amazon Jungle).
During our visit on Saturday, they told a story about medical supplies that they had purchased for a price per pound (I think something like around $500 for 200 lbs of supplieis). After they purchased, they realized that the in fact had supplies equalling about $15,000 worth of medical supplies! THAT'S when my friend leaned to me and said, 'what about the supplies for Haiti that we have no way of getting there'.
OH MY....I got all excited and thought 'too bad Dianne isn't here'?
AND...this is the home we found for all the supplies.
Monday, Allan & Patsy leave for Iquitos, Peru where they will be ministering to many people in the Amazon Jungle and distributing lots of these supplies. Then, in December they will be taking a trip to the Dominican Republic and distributing the remaining supplies.
Thank you SO much for those who have donated....it was a great success (too bad they couldn't have gone to Haiti, maybe next year) and Patsy and Allan walked away feeling SO blessed!
