Recent Shipment Passes Suez

     Our recent Orphan Grain Train--Michigan shipment carrying a treasury of theological books and ecclesiastical supplies such as altar ware, baptismal fonts, etc, tools, clothing, quilts, and a 16-foot boat has passed through the Suez Canal and is temporarily located today at the port of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

     Our 40-foot container left Sebewaing September 28 and went by rail from Detroit to Hampton Roads, VA, before crossing the Atlantic and Mediterranean.  The precious cargo is now slated to depart Jeddah this coming Sunday, Nov. 19 to off-load ten days later at Mombasa, Kenya.  From there it will begin a 2,010 km inland route by truck to Yambio, South Sudan.

     Please pray with us for its final safe arrival by Christmas to the ELCSS/S and Concordia Lutheran Institute for Holy Ministry.
