Three International Shipments in one Week!

Three International Shipments in one Week!

Just when we think things have slowed down, we turn around and there is even more to do! This week we were blessed to have three international shipments, which will now make a total of 34 shipments for this year!

There are so many steps that go into a shipment, some bigger than others, and some that may even go unnoticed. But nonetheless, each one plays an important role, and together they create something truly beautiful. From receiving donations, unpacking and sorting every single item, to packing kits and supplies and loading them onto the truck. It's all a process that takes many hands and hearts to accomplish. Not to mention the special moments shared with volunteers and staff as we talk about the supplies, where they’re going, and end with a prayer.

Shipments are incredibly important to all of us here at Midwest Mission. They are a chance to praise God for all the work He has done and an opportunity to help those in need. We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our freedom this 4th of July than by celebrating our ability to serve the Lord and help others!

None of this would be possible without you, our generous donors and dedicated volunteers. Whether you gave financially, donated items, or offered your time and energy, every act of kindness plays a vital role in helping us fulfill our mission. Because of you, lives are being touched, hope is being restored, and faith is being shared. Your support allows us to serve others in ways that truly make a difference. We pray that every volunteer and donor feels the joy that comes from knowing the impact they've made. You are a part of something deeply meaningful, and we are so thankful.
