I wanted to write and thank you for all you did to help me get my goods to Cape Town, South Africa. We unloaded the container yesterday, less than two weeks after I arrived here. Everything was intact, and insofar as I can tell undamaged.

Thanks for every courtesy afforded me as we corresponded and arranged for shipment. The original documents were handed to us as we were on the phone arranging for customs clearance. God's timing is perfect.

It has already been my privilege to recommend Missionary Expediters to another missionary, and I will continue to do so.

Thanks again for your patience, help, clarifications, efficiency, professionalism, etc.

Gratefully,
Dave Drullinger

Dear Friends,

From the very beginning this container traveled with a black cloud overhead. Nothing seemed to go right with this. I remember Joe frantically trying to catch up with the container full of trash as it headed towards the west coast and the trucking company working to get the boarding of the vessel canceled. I remember the conversations withVernon trying to find out what he sent where and why he was sending trash to Jordan. I remember the terror when I called MCS and found out that my container was gone out in the middle of the ocean. Was really happy when Maia told me it got turned around and then my thoughts went to the monster bill we would have for a truck load of trash. My heart sank when Henry told me I would need to clear customs and get a broker in Houston and then there was the D word demurrage. How calming Jack was when he received my frantic call yesterday. And then bright sunshiny day came the words from Maia, we got the ocean freight waived. Wow what a wonderful sentence. Ran to tell Luke and we were just elated. The list of companies that have helped us that significantly is small and MX is right on top of that list. We were sitting trying to figure how we were going to resolve this and whether we could afford to alienate the publisher by demanding they pick up the cost for the mistake when your call came.
There may have been others in the back ground that were helping this along but no matter if it was one of you or all of you, we just knew we could count on your help. We are so appreciative of that. Not only for this evil little shipment but for all that you do for all of us here to make things go smoothly on all our shipments. This kind of service is what sets you apart.
Again thanks to all that were involved with resolving this issue and everyone there that is always ready to lend a hand no matter what our problem may be and who may have caused it.
Bless you all

Dear Debbie and Loretta,

This is to inform you of a happy occasion. The 40' cargo container that we deposited in CSX rail head at Kansas City, MO on April 10 or so, has finally cleared customs and been released to us in Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso, West Africa. (Just short of 90 days).

The final hurdle was the second signature on the release forms. The General Director of Customs was relieved of duty for corruption and the new person was slow to start processing paperwork. We understand that warrior angels guarded His goods along the way.

The cargo, that is, clothing, tools to teach mechanics and welding, textbooks, blankets, and of current importance, a months supply of food for the orphans, are gratefully received.

Thank you for all your professional help and personal patience during my learning period.

May many blessings overtake you.

In Jesus name,
Dennis Sieh

The shipment arrived, thank you so much for all the support. I will inform anyone trying to ship cargo internationally to use your services.

Dear Friends,

That is awesome information. I can not even imagine what would be good enough way to express my thanks for all your help during this giant (for us) order of books. I am so glad to be working with all of you because I appreciate your dedication and the integrity with which you handle all our work, from the smallest shipment to many many containers. It’s nice to have you guys in my corner; you make me look like a hero. Plain old thank you is just not good enough but I know there is that special something out there that belongs in the MX office to say it properly. Please let everyone know how much I appreciate them and there good efforts on our behalf.

Best to all. Have a wonderful weekend.

The seminar [H.E.L.P. 2008] has been on my mind ever since Matthew sent the message…so please know you all will be in our thoughts and prayers and I’m praying that God will open up doors that we never dreamed possible, and that He manifests himself in ways that we have never experienced and that He gives us wisdom and knowledge and discernment to know how to deal the right way with the things to come.

I am so thrilled with the way that ME is growing....You guys will always have a special place in our hearts!!!

“I am happy to send you just a few of the photo's that have been taken thus far. The NGO is quite happy with the wheelchairs and with the distribution process. They asked me to communicate with you that they have already given out 192 wheelchairs.

During their visit in the villages they have found handicap individuals who have never been able to be out of their house before. They found one man who was so excited about his new wheelchair that he insists on the youth of the village to push him into the center of town to that he can be with the other older men and talk together with them everyday. The youth are happy to do this for him. The village leader deeply and sincerely thanked everyone involved for these wonder gifts. He said that the handicap people of his village have never ever been given such a good quality gift and a gift that can continue helping them by helping them to get out of the house and move around.”

Lilu Negrut, a good Romanian brother living in Troy, Michigan recently donated his very nice 1993 Volvo tractor truck to a Romanian missionary serving in Germany, to monetize to fund a children’s camp in the Romanian countryside. Rather than shipping this truck to Germany to monetize, Missionary Expediters purchased the truck from him on Monday, September 24, 2007 to add to our small fleet. On behalf of him and Missionary Expediters, Thank you, Lilu!

Debbie and Joe,
Here are just a few of our pictures from our most recent trip to Honduras.
Thanks for helping us make it such a good one!
My most recent trip to Honduras was truly wonderful. It is such an honor to serve the exceptional people in this beautiful country, and a privilege to be an instrument for God to do the remarkable and awe-inspiring work that God does. I am unceasingly amazed, at times overwhelmed, at all times reliant on God, and always grateful for the privilege to serve in Honduras. It was especially great to have our shipment there before we arrived and to deliver the medical supplies (much needed) to the hospital and clinics, and the clothes and shoes to the children. Thank you and Joe again so very much for all of your assistance.

I sincerely hope that we can raise the money to be able to send more shipments this year. And I hope that I will have the opportunity to work with you again.
Thank you so much.
I hope for you a very happy and peaceful and blessed 2007.

Sincerely,

Our 40' cube high container arrived Boquete successfully a week ago and we were very favorably impressed by the shippers. We used Missionary Expediters to ship from our front yard in Nashville, TN to Manzanillo
(Colon). Allan PItti of IN AND OUT transported the container from there to a warehouse he knows in Panama City, where it went through customs smoothly and without incident. Allan hired a trucker and his helper to truck it to our front yard in Alto Boquete. The shipping experience with Missionary Expediters was exceptionally good with no problem whatsoever. The container was delivered to our front yard in Nashville, TN on a Friday morning and picked up on Monday afternoon. We loaded it ourselves with the help of a friend and a couple of strong young men we hired. Our container was delivered to us in Boquete an unbelievable 10 days later! The cost for Missionary Expediters was $3695.54, including $10,000 worth of insurance. The cost for Allan Pitti was $1150.00, including unloading at Alto Boquete. We tipped the driver and helper and 4 neighbors $20.00 each in addition to insure they would unload carefully and place each box in the proper room [Amended for space]

Missionary Expediters has been with Operation Christmas Child since the project was only a handful of containers. Today they handle the majority of all of our containers. Jack was there to teach us about things like how to value donated cargo for foreign importation, the multiple layers of bills of lading that are created for a shipment, destination costs, and who pays what. He has hung with us when foreign importation didn't go as planned. And he has always been patient and generous with us. Today, we have one of the largest and most complex export programs of any humanitarian aid organization. We have a full staff dedicated to exporting our GIK and getting it imported properly overseas and we rely on Missionary Expediters more than ever. They are partners more than vendors. And they are a ministry as truly as any out there.
