Cleared for South Sudan Long awaited shipment will load September 28 Our unique effort to supply the Evangelical Lutheran Church of South Sudan/Sudan (ELCSS/S) is now booked for shipment.  Two years of planning this Christian care initiative will finally result in a full shipping contain being in route to Yambio, South Sudan in northeast Africa.                 The loading date is September 28 beginning at 10:00 a.m.       This project was often in doubt because of multiple documentary and logistical obstacles, but blessedly the Lord God has cleared the way.  In early 2021 Orphan Grain Train—Michigan began gathering books for the benefit of Concordia Lutheran Institute for Holy Ministry, the Lutheran seminary in South Sudan.  In collaboration with Lutheran Heritage Foundation we now have many hundreds of theological books to send.  We also have choir robes, baptismal fonts, altar ware, clergy gowns, and many other ecclesiastical goods.      Also currently staged for shipment are multiple garden and hand tools, desks, generators, tillers, bicycles, and other items to assist seminary students in providing their basic needs. Clothing, shoes, quilts, wheelchairs, and even a 16’ boat are ready for loading.  Likewise multiple boxes of humanitarian supplies for the Hands of Mercy ministry in Yambio.      Please join us in thanking God for providing this exceptional opportunity on behalf of our Christian brothers and sisters in South Sudan.
