When You've Done It To The Least Of These....

We were able to send out the 2 boxes of clothes today! Included in the boxes were about 50 pieces of toddler clothing, a few womens dresses, a few pairs of mens Jeans, a few mens shirts, and 4 suits that I am hoping some of the ministers can wear. It cost us $200 to ship both boxes, but because the clothes are so inexpensive for me to purchase (25 cent a pound), I believe it is a better value than for me to just send money. This is also something that is allowing my kids to have a "hands on" part in helping to provide for missions.

God bless the Alvears, and their labor of love in the mission field! I just wish I could be there to deliver the boxes in person.

If it's anything like Africa, they will have seamstresses/tailors that can work miracles. We took some of Eddie's 44Long suits with us and now one of our 36-38 Regular pastors over there is wearing them and they look custom made. They can do just about anything with a cheap Singer sewing machine!

I would love to send truckloads, but am not despising the day of small beginnings. I have a vision to do much what Lester Sumrall did with his "Feed the Hungry" ministry. I want to send food, clothing, hygiene items, and anything else that a missionary can use to provide for, and reach those they are working with.

Keep us in your prayers!

A very worthy cause.

I do believe God is going to bless and open doors that will amaze you.

I will. I believe this is the very heart of the Good News message.
