65th International Shipment of the Year!

We hope you had a great Thanksgiving, filled with lots of joy, good food, and thankfulness! As we reflect on what we are grateful for this year, we are extremely thankful for all who have made 65 international shipments possible.

You have given in-kind donations, monetary gifts, and prayed fervently for this ministry. And because of that, 65 shipments have left the warehouse and gone to countries where help is desperately needed.

The 65th international shipment of the year was sent on Monday, November 24. This was an Angels of Hope shipment, containing supplies that will go to children’s homes in Honduras!

This shipment included:

480 Home Care Kits

280 Personal Dignity Kits

6 Mattresses

6 Bed Packs

42 Cover Them With Love Quilts

Scrubber Sponges

The value of this shipment was $39,400.00.

Reflecting on this year, Paul’s words come to mind when we think about each and every one of you and the work you’ve done to create a big impact in the world: “I thank my God every time I remember you.” Philippians 1:3

158,640 People Will Be Fed In Jamaica!

What an incredible week of service! Over the course of four days, volunteers came together with one shared goal: to help feed our neighbors in Jamaica. Thanks to this amazing outpouring of support, 26,440 Blessing Bags were packed—providing meals for 158,640 people.

This effort was made possible by 496 unique volunteers in Illinois and Iowa, who collectively gave 1,326 hours of their time. Whether you packed meals, donated toward supplies, or prayed for the events, your contribution made a real impact.

A shipment containing many of these meals left our warehouse last Friday (November 21) and another shipment will be scheduled soon. We are grateful for every person who helped bring hope and nourishment to communities in need. Thank you for being a vital part of this mission! Awaiting the Arrival: A Meaningful Advent Study

This Advent season, Midwest Mission is excited to share this resource written by Angela Cunigan: “Awaiting the Arrival.” This free Advent Study invites everyone to pause, prepare, and reflect on the coming of Jesus Christ.

“Awaiting the Arrival” walks participants through scripture passages that highlight the themes of anticipation, preparation, and hope woven throughout the Advent season.

But this study is more than devotional reading—it’s also a hands-on opportunity to serve.
