Ethiopia Container has Abundance of Goods Shared by Maryland
Here is a letter from Tony of Orphan Grain Train Maryland regarding their shipment in May to Ethiopia:
Friends – I am happy to report that on 31 Aug, our load to Ethiopia arrived at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Hiwot Membere was there to meet it and is quite ecstatic about its arrival. The culmination of God’s Grace and Providence channeled through dedicated people who embody joy, patience, and endurance has paid off… Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!!
More to come as it evolves…
Respectfully/Tony
A little about what was in that container-
The load contained an abundance of medical equipment: toilet risers, oxygen concentrators, warming beds, IV stands and wheelchairs to name a few. There were 280 solar lights, 145 boxes of diapers, 30 boxes of rubber shoes, and 21 bolts of fabric along with sewing machines and notions. So many valuable and usable items.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV
