For all who gave to fill the container bound for the Ivory Coast we say blessing and thank you. It’s finally there! When sending goods in a container to Africa the perils and obstacles are incredible as we learned on our very steep learning curve. Our mission coordinator, Patience Ogele is now there and is taking pictures to send back showing how the container and it’s contents are being used in her husbands church. Patience will live there from here on out, having finished her time of study in the US. We are excited about the goals for Missions in 2010 and will keep you posted. In the works are: trips to Guatemala, Mexico, Mission classes and training, a grand fundraising event and more! If you’re interested in Missions contact Pastor Dennis or Coordinator Phil Choate.

A scant three weeks away, the Guatemala trip is shaping up nicely. A team of eleven folks have attended missions classes, been briefed and met several times in preparation. In the village of Pixabaj they will continue to finish the construction on the school for Mayan children founded by Outpost Ministries director Carlos Nevarez and scout out the needs for the local church to receive support from future teams.
The container in back of Shoreline filled with donated goods headed towards a church in Ivory Coast will depart the premises in five days to be staged in Oakland before heading over sees. A team will meet up with the container next year to distribute goods, do construction on the church and train local Pastors. The full itinerary and mission goal are still in development; stay tuned for more info.
