The word is out! We published our schedule for pickups on Sunday, and we're getting a big response. That means that there are lots of volunteers who will be coming to the warehouse during the next few days to load pickup trucks and vans with food and sanitation items to take to the less fortunate.

 Already there are hiccups - a community supported by Club Dust is lacking in transport, but not in need. So, an appeal was e-mailed, and another mission stepped up to volunteer to take a load of food to a community sorely in need. It's really humbling to see the guiding hand of God in our work. We see this sort of intercession throughout our mission.

As an example, we received a shipment of Coca-Cola 'vitamin water' donated by Convoy of Hope on Monday. We had just loaded the last case of drinking water on Saturday. We went from zero drinking water to 42,500 pounds of drinking water. And 'in the nick of time'. Is there a pattern here?

And I got a telephone call from Strong Tower Ministries yesterday. There are 20 pallets of medical supplies which have been donated to serve Mexican missions. Are we interested? You Bet!
These are only two examples of the encouragement we receive every day.

I shouldn't be surprised. Isaiah 58:9 Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. And all along, I recognize that His will is being accomplished through folks like the readers of this Blog - we're all instruments in His hand.
